Hi everyone, It's been a while since we blogged you about our life in New Zealand, so we felt an update is what some of you may have wished for. Work is going very well with both of us in full time jobs. Becca is still working for the boutique shop in town, and I am teaching a year two class in a lovely catholic school just outside of Wellington until the end of the year. After much confusion and stress regarding our return flights, we have booked our return journey and arrive in the UK very shortly before Christmas. We [View Full Entry]

Hello. Sorry about hte long break, but life in the big city will do that to you. Just going to give a few notes, so I don't think will be too long. I've been living for the last month plus at a hostel called nomads capital. It's literally a 10 minute walk from the NZ capital building (wellington is the capital city of NZ). I've been working at a couple places in the last month, mostly for temp agencies. One is a hospitality one, where I pretty much work at banquets setting tables and serving drinks and food, and the other [View Full Entry]

Vertrokken uit het meest vieze en qua regels meest rare hostel tot nu toe. Het is gelijk te merken dat er een stuk meer mensen op het noordereiland wonen. Het verkeer is ook vervelender en ook meer als in Nederland, gestresst en gehaast. Op de weg hiernaartoe weer eens gezien hope divers het land is. We zijn zelfs door een soort van woestijn gekomen. Besloten om in Turangi te blijven om de Tongarirocrossing te doen. En direct een paardrijrit bij Taupo besproken. In de bar op de camping een groot deel van de rugbywedstrijd tussen de Allblacks en de Springbocks gekeken. [View Full Entry]

Vanmorgen naar het visitorscentre van Kaikoura gegaan om informatie in te winnen over een aantal dingen. We moesten in ieder geval een overtocht boeken naar het noordereiland. Bovendien wilden we ook nog graag of met dolfijnen zwemmen of naar de walvissen kijken. Het zwemmen en het walviskijken was waarschijnlijk niet mogelijk omdat het weer erg onstuimig was. Het waaide namelijk ontzettend hard. We hebben daarom besloten om ergens anders te proberen om met de dolfijnen te zwemmen en dan op dit moment maar door te rijden naar de overvaart. Bij de rit ernaartoe werden we praktisch van de weg gewaaid. Het [View Full Entry]

Hey guys, Finally my entry about Wellington. After 3months in a bloody farm in the middle of Victoria and 3 years away from my fave city I am finally back in Windy Welly! Took me a while to realise I was back in Welly, bet I annoyed Linda and Son a lot with my ' I can't believe I am in Welly!!!', Wellington means a lot to me, nice city and it's where I have made so great friend and had so much fun. Did the same thing I used to do back in the old days, went to Sports Cafe, [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone, I know it's been another long month since I've posted anything but I've been the most busy I've been yet this trip. I finally have a week off to relax and write to you all, so I hope you're ready to read read read! About a month, a group of fifteen people came over from ORU in Oklahoma (Americans of course, and man it was great hearing normal accents and talking about stuff from back home). They are a worship team, and I have to say I've never met a group of people work as well together as they [View Full Entry]

Ok, so I left it a bit long to write my next blog, so I apologise to all of you who have been waiting to catch up with my adventures (as I write this I am actually in NYC, but never mind eh?!) Wellington was rather uneventful - it is meant to be the windiest city in NZ or similar, and we definitely experienced that as soon as we arrived there! Headed to the cinema on our first day there to see What Happens in Vegas and then tried to sneak into Iron Man as well (Wayne wanted to watch it, [View Full Entry]
