Well, it's been a while to say the least so lets try and sum up the last two months as briefly as possible.  It shouldn't be too hard because I havn't done too much other than work and save for the next part of my trip, which i'm still doing and will be for a little longer yet. Anyhow, all went well with the flights here, apart from Australia's contamination checks.  I was told that taking a penknife and leatherman tool onto the plane wasn't issue but h...

Well...soz its taken a bit of time but its hard finding decent internet access out here in the sticks. The first few days in Auckland where ok and i was bloody delighted to finally get out here, albeit to more rain. Met some great people at the hostel in Auckland, most of whom are on the 'Kiwi Experience' now. But i keep meeting up with people from Bournemouth. There's 5 of them on bus.....daft! But Auckland's just a slightly warmer and cleaner L...
