Im in New Zealand!

Our trip to the zoo was great fun, I could hardly leave australia without seeing a kangaroo (although i have eaten it twice) and a koala! After the zoo we had a bbq with a friend from uni and had a great evening chatting away about all sorts. On our last day we relaxed and did some shopping and then spent the night in the airport, I slept suprisingly well although I had practice when I first arrived in Australia. The past 3 weeks have flown by, its amazing to think how much we have crammed in, I am enjoying it so much. The other photo I have uploaded is from Byron Bay, its the view from the lighthouse after our uphill cycle!

Now we are in New Zealand! Flew here yesterday morning, it only took 3 hours and we have spent the past two days in Christchurch. Its a very tiny city with a cathedral at the centre with our hostel a stones throw away from everything. Today we had a quick look around the art gallery, went for a punt on the river avon (it really did feel like we were in cambridge) and then spent the afternoon sitting on a tree branch that extended out over the river. Also got my hair cut for just over 3pounds, doesnt look too bad considering! Really like what I have seen of this country so far, tomorrow we get on our bus up to the next town which is famous for whale/dolphin watching, not sure what we will get up to yet. Will upload more photos when I have more time.

    Another day, another country.....it sounds as though you won't want to come back! We're (allegedly) going to have another cold spell, with a slight possibility of snow, so just stay where you are and enjoy that lovely sunshine and beautiful scenery. You must be having so much fun. Enjoy NZ and keep us posted - it's great to read about what you're up to. Bye from both of us, Judith & Peter

    Hello, can't quite believe you are the other side of the world. It's lovely seeing all the photographs, it makes us all feel you are not so far away. It looks like you are having a fantastic time. Are you popping back for Nana's 80th Birthday party? Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your journey, make the most of everything you do.

    Take care and lots of love to Ashling too.
