Well hello again people!!! !!! !!!
I'm still alive and kicking. Just arrived in Auckland today and i'm heading north up to the Bay of Islands tomorrow. should be a good laugh.
I've spent the last week in a place called Taupo. It's really nice and quiet, a great place to chill out and relax. i've got to know quite a few people there and i've been made to feel like family!!!
What i got up to there was relaxing (of course), fishing (caught 2 trout about 40-50cm, don't know what lb though, but really nice for tea :p), walking (just round town and the river), and trying a 'little' bit of the night life, tee he. apart from that I've been helping out around the hostel with the bar and the BBQ and organising pool comps and desplays and showing newbies around town (well, the night life anyway :p).
I'm of to the Bay of Islands next, where I can go bodyboarding, drive 90 mile beach, sailing and things like that. After that i'll be heading back down south towards the south island where i'll be visiting Franz Joseph (big glasier), Millford Sounds (really nice views), Queenstown (adventure hub) and plenty more.

Anyway people, i'm running out of time.

so.........until next time

Good night and fairwell.

Me :p

So rather than just sitting back and letting it all pass me by I've decided to get out and see the furthest point of land I can before you start to come back round the other way.........New Zealand!!! !!! !!! (now you can't get further than that)... full info

The Polynesian Maori reached New Zealand in about A.D. 800. In 1840, their chieftains entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights. In that same year...more info
