A very belated blog from the homeland

---

How cool is this, they even have Upper Hutt in the 'Regions of the World section' of this website. Anyway, I know this was months ago but I couldn't let the best holiday in the world go by unmentioned. Not only did it start with a trip to Thailand and onto Carmels Wedding and Christmas at home. I was lucky enough to spend New Years in Sydney with Nicola and friends, then to visit Hannah and Nina in Melbourne.

The other two months in NZ were spent partying at the best Summer events and not to mention 'The Great Kiwi Road Trip' that Carmel, Jeff and I went on, seeing the likes of Christchurch, Nelson Lakes and the beautiful Abel Tasman.

So here are just a few snippets from some of what i've mentioned above... thanks to everyone at home for making my time there so special.
