Lauren I really must protest! Despite the huge excitment of being included in your blog, the photograph which you have chosen to include does really rather make me look like a drunken fish, not a look I usually aspire to.
Swinging High Lauren, you are amazing or a nutter, delete as applicable. Glad you are enjoying Queenstown, but do take a rest sometime sweetheart. I am printing off each blog and putting into a folder for you as record. Take care. Love Mum
Hey Sporan, so glad to hear that you're a lot happier now and having a good time. Am v v jealous of your whale-watching, hiking, kayaking, trekking etc, it sounds awesome. Am impressed that you say you're beginning to enjoy hostelling - never had you down as the communal-living type! Hope that things continue to be fun and that you meet lots more people. Love your photos btw xxx
I'm so jealous!! Hey Lauren! Sounds like you are having a great time and have been keeping yourself really busy. I am so jealous...wish I had gone travelling now! Oh well. Lots of love, Gem xx
Hey Hi Lauren, im so jealous of you it all sounds amazing. I know how u felt at first cos when we went to some hostels in Costa Rica were much less than impressed but sounds like you've been having lots of fun recently. Your story about splitting your trousers was so funny, I laughed so hard i almost split mine! Well i best get going, have lectures to be going to, dissertations to be getting on with and exams to be revising for. Have a lovely time xxx
yay for sunshine! heya so glad to hear the weather has been sunny and nice for you today, best news. v.jealous of the horse riding although would be equally stiff im sure! poo pub sounds like great fun, love the idea of themed dressing and hats on the ceiling - v.cool :-) have fun at the glacier xxx
Centre of the Isle Hi Sweethear, Abel Tasman park sounds like a great place and I hope to get there some day. Not sure where you are now but hope you have dried out and enjoying some sun. Make sure you take advantage of all the great trips, don't worry about money, we can always give/lend you what you need, it is important to enjoy yourself when you are young and able to do all these things. Love Mum
lolly! i've just got back from canada - so sorry we didn't chat before you left.
nice blog, keep putting up the pics. hope you feel less stressed and and less lonely from now on!
love -
The beginning is always the hardest Hi Sweetheart
Just to let you know that I am very proud of you, it is not easy to go it alone but I am sure it will become easier when you are together with fellow travellers on the bus. Enjoy Kaikoura, hope it is the whale watching seaon. Mum
Have a great time Hi Lauren, glad you have arrived safely. Make sure you rest so you are ready to enjoy your time in christchurch. Hope you meet some fellow travellers soon. Bella is attached to the Aga and hates being moved. All parcels and bills have been sent. Have fun sweetie but take care of yourself and your things.
Good luck! Blimey that was a long entry Sporan. At least it was easier to read than your history coursework. Glad you got there OK hope you feel better after a sleep. Lots of love xxx
I'm finally off - end of Education, no more temping - off alone to explore New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and India. :) Wish me luck!... full info
