Hello again. . . Well I am back from my little adventure. . . am currently sat in a very nice café in Nelson, a little annoyed as I wanted to go fishing today, but the weather out at sea isn't looking so d=good, so it had to be cancelled. . . . . Anyway, I am well, if not a little tired after my few days away! I had a great time over the last 3 days, first of which was the kayaking. . . . . There was a strong threat of rain, but that didn't really bother me a...

Hello again. . . . . Just a short and sweet one, I hope you are not getting bored with my ramblings? Whatever. . . . . ! Anyway, I am beginning to wonder why I did the Tranz Alpine train crossing?! Yeah yeah, the scenery was great, but nothing I haven't really seen before. . . . . .

Everyone left as they had work...

The same guys should be going out, so I thought why not. Had really nice time with them and they have made me feel really welcome, so another night shouldn't hurt and we should be celebrating, as Bridget is doing all 3 bungy jumps in one day?!? So Wanaka. . . . . I finally got there (slow leaving ...

Well, it's now snowing. . . . . ! Feel like I have seen all the seasons over the last week here. . ?! It's crazy. . . . . Anyway, I took a nice steady drive up to Queenstown, got myself a hostel and checked in. It is about a 10 minute walk into town and maybe 15 minutes back (uphill), still it's a really nice cozy place and very friendly. I didn't do much as I got there late, so made some food and got chatting to a Scottish couple. . . I ended up having some food...
