Monday 27th February 7.075.4 Overcast Sky - 19c Had a good night’s sleep last night, probably due to the exertions of Sand boarding on the dunes yesterday. Not too many aches and pains though which is surprising. Anyway up in good time and had breakfast of toast and more toast. Supplies are getting very low now and we need to find a supermarket or may have to take to the hills in search of some wild Pig or Sheep with which to fill the larder. We left Whatawhiwhi behind and headed SE towards the Bay of Islands and another camp site. I wanted to keep the trip as short as possible today as i have just about had enough of driving. With in mind we only travelled for about an hour and a half before we ... read more

I don't know where to start.... After leaving orientation on February 14th or so, we entered a village called Nananu for 12 days. Simply put, the drive into Nananu ( I was in the back of a seperate truck with two Fijian men) was the most beautiful scenery I've seen in my life. All around the community were flourishing foothillls, waterfalls, and neverending trails through some of the most untouched nature I've ever witnessed. I do not recall a day where I didn't go on a hike, be it solo or with others. I found a lot of enjoyment in hikes alone, not feeling like I have to talk to anyone and having personal thoughts to mull over while trekking through deep plains of wet grass or climbing up small waterfalls. Being on my own has ... read more

Hi to you all and a very happy new year, had a fantastic night here in Auckland, not too much to drink but the atmosphere was brilliant, absolutely no drinking allowed on the streets so it's the first new year we did'nt have a drink in our hand to toast the new year. The fireworks were amazing! both from the tower & from somewhere off shore, we did'nt know which way too look, what a wonderful night, we walked back to our hotel and stopped for a McDonalds ice cream on the way, it's got to be a first for me to be eating ice cream at 2am in a morning!. The icing on the cake had to be New years day, we went on a trip looking for Dolphins & Whales, we were lucky enough ... read more
