New Years at the Beach

---

First up I had some issues with my first NZ blog, so if ya didnt see it then hit the previous journal button aiiiight.
Ok, so after being away for so long I definately have a new found appreciation for NZ, it's beauty and its people. This place is awesome and Im stoked to be a kiwi.
So after Christmas it was off up North to a Bach at Mangonui which Ju and Abbey had hooked up ..... Nice one Ladys. While here we sampled some of the best fish N Chips in the world and watched a couple a 2 metre sharks cruise around below us as we ate ....... perfect. Then it was off to Tapu to meet up with some more friends to celebrate the New Year the way it should be done ..... at the beach. With an amazing sunset and a dressup theme of 'White Trash' the tone was set. It was a great night with some funny dressups and was awesome to catch up with so many peps and finish the night by sleeping under the stars ...... Cheers for having us Pipi.
Then it was down to the Coromandel to chill with the fam for 5 days. Every day was as beautiful as the beaches and the BBQ's were seriously tasty.
Also managed to get down to Taupo with Ryan to check out the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport where NZ finished 3rd.
Was stoked as to be back for 4 weddings in 3 weeks ....... Woooo Dude ......... theres a few phots up of Tim and Sams who are awesome mates and travelled with us earlier on in Europe.
Anyways, this is getting long and boring so will let the phots do the talking.
