Hola - como etan? I'm sat here in Auckland Aeropuerto awaiting my flight from hell to Santiago in Chile. Today will be the longest day of my life; It's Saturday and I've been up since 8am, it's now 4pm and I have an 11 hour flight landing at 12pm on Saturday.........! Work than one out. My body will not have a clue what the hell is going on. Anyways, quick summary of my antics in New Zealand. I arrived in Wellington and was picked up from the airport by Dave. W...

Apparently it's chucking it down for the next few days there so stormy New Year here I come. Had fun during my brief visit to Hong Kong. Just wandered around, soaking up the pace of life and vibe here. Did the obligatory trip to the Peak, coul...

Ho ho ho! Hope everybody had an amazing Christmas, (I heard it might of been a white one?). So, Vietnam is cold. Bloody cold!
