So the last few days in Phuket were spent round the pool, bit more surfing and eating. The weather had really turned around by the end with sun shining and the beach packed with people. Keri had a dress made we have called 'The Sack' not happy with it. We had heard about this attraction called Fantasea from a few people so decided to check it out and it turned out to be one the the coolest things we did! Its a Los Vegas style show with 30 elephants, pyrotechics, music dancing dudes flying all over the theatre. Was all inside [View Full Entry]

Forgot to publish at the time..will add the photos once we get back from Thailand... Yo yo fullas summers done, fresh snow up the hills and temps have chilled down big time. Guide season pretty full on this time round and ready was for a break by the end. Did a mish down Stewart Isl with Forest, Josh & Rusteye couple weeks back. Primo time spent kiwi watching, fishing, drinking constantly, eating almost as much, swiming, tramping, dolphins, penguins chilling. Anybody spending time down these ways cant go past the island, by far clearest water ever seen. Keri and I heading [View Full Entry]

Hey kia ora everyone, first sorry bout the lack of emails and blogs over summer-i hope you had a great one filled with beach, beers, good times and good mates. I had an epic summer working on the Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. Was hard to belive I was getting paid to walk amongst such amazing scenary, the mountains, rivers and lakes really are breathtaking-but of course pictures are always better than words so ill let the photos do the talking. Apart from being out on the track 80% of the time got a few waves around Catlins and Riverton ways, [View Full Entry]

I finished work with NZ post last saturday [View Full Entry]

So three months on from my last blog and things have cooled down a bit here in Queenstown, we have had a couple of -12 nights which leaves all the windows in the house with a thick layer of ice on the inside, the toilet bowl froze and transforms our back yard into something out of Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. This has made the posty run a little sketch in some parts but no big falls yet. Currently doing the town run whilst Daveys away. Its really socialable and people are starting to reckonize me as Dan the postman. The [View Full Entry]

Yea, Kia ora everyone, just an update on the goings on from the deep south of Middle Earth. Everything is honky dory with work and the Queenstown pace fitting in nicely. The weather has been awesome over the last few weeks with super clear crisp nights. Im sure the stars shine brighter down here. The posty run is primo but unsure how will be in a couple of months once the snow drops. Right now it is cooking, still getting chased [View Full Entry]
