Sweet As ........ After a year and a half of cruising around the world, eating really badly, sleeping very little, and generally neglecting all things healthy it was back to Auckland to catch up with my Fam and get pampered with some seriously tasty food and all things good.

Which meant that my time in the most beautiful country in the world was always going to be awesome.

After an amazing 4 hour drive thru the scorching desert, Vegas jumped outta nowhere ....... Crazy ..... 3 hours of desert then Vegas ....... Woooooo Dude. After a not so quick drive up the main drag I realised my perception of this place was screwed, I was totally blown away, so flippen big and everything had so much money poured into it ....... Im not even gonna try explain. So we picked the Luxor out of the many hotels for our accom and ... read more

Russ, Jimena and me all kiited out Mexican style
Wooooooo Dude ...... I cant believe Im starting a series of Blogs from North America. It was never in my plan to cruise here but some big draw cards enticed me. Paul Dawson and Russell were in town and a road trip thru Mexico with the boys in a Chevy rental was way too good to miss out on. We were also graced by the company of Amber (Pauls girlfriend) and Jimena (Russ's Argintinian friend) who are awesome and made for a kickass road trip crew. Haha .......... it wasnt long before Russ's presence was felt ....... as we approached the Mexican boarder he realised he forgot his passport (Koozer much) and we wernt turning back ..... haha ..... so the plan was to smuggle him back into the states ........ hmmmmmmmmm ....... could get interesting. ... read more
Check it out ....... Tower Bridge
Yo Yo ....... So its been a while and I aint really done any travelling but it's time for an update. London has been awesome, this place rules in summer and has a wicked atmosphere. Was so stoked to be here for the world cup, the English live for football and ultimately the world cup so London was the perfect place to be to soak it up. I had a TV on the end of my desk at work and basically watched every single game ....... so stoked. Also had plenty of people come and visit which has been cool and we have continued to be capulated by the London nightlife which has meant not alot a sleep but heaps of good times. We did manage to check out The Tower Of London Castle which was ... read more

Nice views on the road to Newquay
After six months of the freezing winter, and in my whitest state ever, I was totally keen for the beach .............so a boys weekend to Newquay at the South West of England was the call ...... ....... I must admit I was a little ambitious thinking that it would be sunny and warm but we still hit it and was so good to get to the beach. Anyways, our travel and accomodation came in the form of Paul and Daves massive Ford transit..........A few matresses in the back and our accom was sorted........That turned out to be a great move as our 5 hour journey turned into nearly 24 hours. A few dodgy electrical problems got us, and while we used our Kiwi know-how to keep the transit going, we couldnt avoid the phone call to ... read more
