Hey, there fellows from afar or maybe not so far, well who ever you are, glad your reading this blog and keeping up with my travels, where ever they are!
Ok, hi.
Wow Oz is over as i leave on Wed (16th Jan) to Christchurch, NZ, sounds amazing doesn't it? is it cold there in UK? was 35 C yesterday at the 2020 beach cricket. It was great and there is a picture of the streaker being escorted off by security, he will pay a $1500 fine and one night in the cell's for that, but it was funny and not quite Ozzie sport without one. Check out he backdrop to the photo, the surf was great and all the buff's were out there cruzin' on their boards, ripping it up!
Let explain photo's.Top to bottom.
1. Letting party poppers off on NYE, all family and few friends.
2. My bed on NYE was in rubber boat as limited space. (only had 3 hour in it though)
3. Beach Cricket
4. My folks with Aunt and Uncles
5. A token pic for you guy's of my second home.
6. Our own beach cricket, Mum, Dad and Wez.................
7. Cuz Sara and me on the boat.
8. Australians obsession with 'BIG' things- example the BIG (turd) potato! it is true!
9. Mum, Dad and me after i went out for a paddle on sea ski.........i luv it!
10. Bazza and Kazza the killer team in Lawn bowl's.
Well been very busy since NYE and been sorting out NZ going Wwoofing (google Wwoof) round hopefully so will get the full kiwi experience. I'm not bothered about the full on backpacker things like throwing yourself off a bridge tied with a bit of elastic or being told to climb this mountain as it was in some fantasy film, which I've not Even seen anyway......................i want the REAL people in the REAL places and the little bit's of heaven which the tourist and backpackers don't see. Off the road places where the post person still knows your name and everyone in town will make you brew because they know your a visitor, even if they carn't understand your accent.
GET IT?....good.
Been doing many things since NYE and here is a list on some of them, Surfing, Paddling, Boogie boarding, Snorkeling, avoiding shopping, playing Golf, Cricket (playing and watching), Emailing, Talking, Partying, Boating, Water skiing, Tubing, watching wild Dolphins, Possums, Roo's, Bat's, many Birds, Sting Ray's, Fish, Child minding, Cooking, exploring new suburbs of the City, eating too much and little bit of chilling. Oh hard life............but now serious budgeting!
Still think about Africa every day and i been trying to contact everyone personally before i leave Oz, sorry if didn't get round to you, but i will one day and some how.
Don't really know what the furture hold for me in NZ as only have the first 10days sorted, but that just makes it more exciting.
Sticking to my resolution's so far and im pleased.
Got lots to do and need to pack a bag....again!
Only 4 and half months till back, how quick has that gone?
Take care and plases keep in contactits alway nice to read something from an old mate or someone you know.
Chow, Tu nana.
