After 18 fun filled days breezing through New Zealand's extremely stunning South Island, today is the day we catch the ferry from the tip of the West Coast. A place called Picton. Departing at 7 o'clock this evening the boat will be docking at Wellington, after a 3 1/2 hour journey on the sea vessel to then which the next chapter will commence... But for now I would like to reflect back to the passage of time when we departed from Kaikoura up until this exact mo...

The transition from Melbourne to here in Christchurch was as smooth as a peach apart from one little blooper...

I was back on a paradise island and it felt good! Island life is ever so chilled and slower paced so I'm just going to go into deta...

Another 4 nights spent in bloody Bangkok, a little longer than desired but I hung around to then hang around with a friend of mine from Ko Rong. He worked at one of the bars there and over my time spent at the island and with each other we became very fond of each other so meeting up again was really cool. It was very chilled period of time, as I made sure that was case because I was in tatters after Ko Rong. The Chatuchak weekend market was the reason I flew bac...
