Hello all, Hope you all enjoyed your festivities on New Year. We had such a good time! We went to see the fireworks on the Bridge and it was specatcular. We were a bit squiffy at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, that was to take the pain away from having to wait for 2 hours to get into the viewing spot and then had to sit on a very steep hill to get a half decent, (but good compared to some people) view. We watched the first lot of fireworks at 9 o'clock from this spot but decided that we had better move in a bit closer for, as Phil just said, "The real deal", the huge fireworks at midnight. It was great! I'm so glad we weren't at home or sat in the Saracens ... read more

Hello again everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your New Year's celebration! Kirsty and I have been having a great time, and we have been doing a little traveling with our time off for the holidays. As you can see, we used our Christmas break to head over to Queenstown for a few days, and this past weekend, we took some time to travel to the Catlins, an area near here on the very southeast coast of the south island. We were recommended by the girl who lived in our flat before us to have a look, and as we had the time and the means, we decided to take her up on the idea. To be honest, it was a bit of a last minute decision, but our luck seemed to hold, as we called ... read more

So I'll soon be off to Australia to study abroad in Brisbane at Griffith University! If I've calculated correctly, I have 40 days exactly until I leave. I am way beyond excited! I love travelling-and I have always wanted to visit Australia. I'm hoping to get around to Sydney, Melbourne, Cairnes, and many other places as well along the coast. If anyone has any suggestions on places to check out let me know! It'd be greatly appreciated ... read more

堪培拉国家图书馆的墙，全部是用非常突出的沙石砖砌的，很多人在那里抱石。我去了两天，确实是个不错的抱石墙。难度有难有易。且绕着整个图书馆有两面墙有50-60米远3米高左右。你可以尽情的抱！ Bouldering on the wall of The Nationa Library in Canberra is very good.There are 2 wall which about 50-60 meters long and about 3 meters tall.there are both have some easy and hard routes. I went for bouldering for 2 days. it was owesome!... read more

שששששלללוםםם!!! מה קורה??? אז אחרי לילה מטורף אצל המשפחה העשירה בברייטווטר יצאנו לדרך, לכיוון גריימאות' שבחוף המערבי . בדרך לפה עצרנו בווסטפורט - עיירת נמל מ-מ-ש שקטה ונחמדה. אחרי משהו כמו חצי שעה שם, הבנו שכנראה לא נמצא פה דברים מעניינים (לדוגמא - דולפינים - כמו שהבטיחו באינפורמיישן סנטר - שקרנים), אז המשכנו לכיוון מושבת כלבי הים שנמצאת לא רחוק משם. היה ממש נחמד האמת, כי היו שם הרבה יותר כלבים ממה שציפינו ..(וגם ריח לא משהו) אחרי עוד 50 דקות נסיעה הגענו לאתר שנקרא פנקייק-רוקס, שזה כביכול אתר של סלעים שקיבלו צורה מוזרה של ערמות של פנקייקים.. גם שם היה ממש נחמד... בערב הגענו בשעה טובה לאחת האכסניות השוות בניו זילנד - הגלובל וילג'. מדובר ללא ספק באחד המקומות היפים שראינו פה. אחרי כמה דקות של התרשמות מהמקום החלטנו שאנחנו צריכים לעצמנו עוד לילה במקום ... read more
