Is that you baby? Hello. I did not recognise you! Lovely pics. And sounds like you have had a real
experience. All upbeat and happy. Wait till you are skiing down Railway Street
next Winter - the neighbours will be twitching their nets! Can't wait to see your
motherload of photo's a week next Tuesday!!!
Brrrrr how cold is that then? Lovely pics Rach, you are improving, and they will be nicer when we get them printed out. Interesting blog
sounds like you are a seasoned traveller now. Although it is cold the placed seem poorly equipped for it.
Not like us with the central heating and lecky blankets. No rationed heating for us! The skiing sounds
fabulous. Well done you!
Brrrr too cold for me! This looks freezing Rach. A real experience though. Sounds like tough going and you did well to do the half day. The crumpets with Mary sounds about my mark. Good blog but I'm off to get warm.
Best blog yet! Oh Rach I think this is your best yet. I loved Sherry's library and the pics of you on the horse with the
fabulous background are really great. You made it sound so interesting and funny. You look a bit
cold in these pics. Love and miss you! Mum
Golden Bay sounds nice. Good description here Rach, feel like I was alongside of you. The photo's do have a look of home except for the beach ones - they look lovely. Glad you have had a good time on the farm. Your journey is drawing to a close but I feel sure when you have been home a while you will be making more plans to travel. This is just the beginning.................Mum.
You nutter. I should have loved to have seen you staggering round with your head light on. I think you are finding out so much on this journey that you will turn out to be a seriously good tramper Of course you should set out to do what you want - you meet more people and, yes, you could have been sat back at the hostel in the warmth thinking how mad at yourself you are for not having the courage. Jump to it girl. Now you can sit back in the hostel and think of what you DID achieve.
wow i so never knew you could write comments here!!! bit late now but just to show i keep myself updated on your travels!! hope all is well and will be seeing you very shortly!!! i canny wait!! x x x
I didn't go to Hells Gate I went to the Polynesian Spa and also the thermal wonderland to watch the gueyser - I know what you mean about eggy trumps though! It stank, I think that the thermalness broke my camera too - the display screens gone and I am wondering if it is becuase of the moisture in the air?! Hope your well darling, see you when I get back xxxx
New Zealand Hi Hun
Sounds like your having a fantastic time. The Magic Bus didnt sound too good though. Did you go to a plec called Hells Gate whilst you were in Rotorua? It is a strange place! You cant really describe to anyone unless you have been there. Eggy trumps !! lol
Take care hun Jo xxxxxxx
your bum looks smaller! Hi darling, enjoyed this blog - it look's an amazing place. Two good things here are your bum looks smaller than it did when you were last here and you are, at long last, cooking for yourself. Believe me when you get older you are gonna wish you had taken MORE photo's! You will have to stick to the Magic bus now, but a lot of these trips you can organise yourself-now! Take care.
Nice one, Rach. Looks like Katie's was a nice place to be for you to recharge those batteries. I'm glad you stayed with them it would be like being at home in a way. The Maori haka sounds interesting. Keep on -not long now till you are back with Momma.
Nice one. Glad you are well and happy. Some nice photo's and information is good. I think we get the feeling of roughing it - living out of the car. Can you get some Maori photos to show us? Lovely views and it does look quite remote. Good luck for your next adventure. Mum.
Thanks for looking at my blogs! I hope you are all looking after my Dad I am missing him a lot! I'm sure he is enjoying the nice break and making the most of the peace and quiet before I move back in! ha ha. Look forward to meeting you when I get home xxx
Hi from your Dad's school hello Rachel,
fantastic to find out what you have been up to! Got your Dad here he has been telling us what you have been doing so we wanted to have a look at you!have a wonderful time! Hope to meet you when you get back! Love holy Trinity school!x
NZ looks amazing. Great blog Rach, the scenery looks fabulous. You sound very active too with your walking and getting about. Good snaps but I wanted to see more!
Wonderful blog of the last bit of Oz. Oh Rach, you have done well with this blog. I can't believe how much Newcastle is like Morecambe - you are right, I can even see the Midland Hotel!! The Hostel looks nice and clean and I think a lot of folks would like to go and stay there. I'm sure you will return to Oz - I feel you have been happier here in yourself - even minus Andy - than you were in Thailand. Easier for a girl going solo. And you seen to have a more independant attitude - I like it! Let's see if NZ kicks Australia's ass! Love - your Mum.xx
Rach goes down under. Thanks for the blog. I didn't want it to end. Photo's are good and you look quite healthy and happy. Take care. Look forward to the next blog which should show us something of the Barrier Reef. The lagoon in Cairns looks a lovely place.
Good one, chick I really enjoyed seeing you blog. Some lovely pictures of you and you look so happy. Thailand has been a real experience....now show us Oz - Rach style. Do they know what's heading their way?
