Well, I have finally entered the world of blogs. Here are a few photos from my travels in the US - it's a slow process figuring out how this website works, and I'm on a coin-operated hostel internet connection, so I'll write properly soon!

Hallo everyone! I have seen the comments on Facebook that my blog hasn't had quite enough writing to go with the photos - all I can say is that I have been WAY too busy to sit in front of a computer, all this travelling is very time consuming you know. Anyway, it is a holiday weekend in NZ, and in true UK style it has just started chucking it down with rain, so I have retreated to an internet cafe.
It feels like I have been away for months already, when it is in fact only 25 days. San Francisco seems like a long time ago. I only had 2 (jet-lagged) days there, but saw all the sights and generally ambled my way around the city.

Walking on the Kalalau trailrelatively untouristed island - mostly locals driving 4x4s with surfboards hanging out the back. Then onto the Big Island, which is just awesome. I stayed near the Volcanoes National Park for a few days, doing day hikes in the park - the volcano is still erupting, and lava is flowing into the ocean, you could see from miles way the steam rising as the lava enters the water. The island is full of contrasts, from harsh volcanic terrain and enormous lava flows to green valleys full of palm trees and giant bamboo, and small coffee farms on the mountain slopes. I wished I could have spent more time there, but probably my bank balance would have been looking a little sad if I had.
So, I have finally made it to NZ, and am slowly getting into the swing of the backpacker life. I have just put my last $2 coin into the machine, so I will sign off for now, but will be back later to update you with my NZ adventures so far, and get some more photos uploaded!
