Yep, it's my last night in Wellington and my last night of hotel luxury. :) And good-bye to Stacey. :( I rent a car tomorrow and will be driving back north, in search of some sites and in search of deeper insights into my own soul/mind. I'm a bit anxious about the second part of that process, so if you're inclined to say a prayer for me, I'd app...

Good news! Tonight I went with Darilynn, a fellow Canadian Wellywood-er, to drop some stuff off at her new flat. Turns out there was still one room available, so easy as that, I'm moving in Wednesday!! Downside being I have to hit up Sally Ann to buy my own bed, but the room is massive, and all my own! Rent is only $100 per week, and about $45 p...

Ok to cut a long story short, I've travelled on this big green bus for a week now I've been to Rotarura, Taupo (beautiful Lake sided city resort), river valley (we're the water was to high to do white water rafting). I've seen lots of beautiful scenary,done a skydive, seen where the hobbitton which was where part of the lord of the rings was fil...

Today I had arranged to meet Emma to give her help doing her C.V as she has decided to get back into hairdressing to get some extra cash as she has decided to settle in Wellington for the foreseeable future but first before I met Emma I went to get a haircut. The strangest thing happened today when I was sitting in the chair in the hairdressers,...

Today I went for another walk up Mt Hut which gives you a great view over Wellington and then from here I took a walk back down and headed for the other side of town to catch the cable cars up to the botanical gardens and observatory again this is another great vantage point to get to see out onto the whole of Wellington, jst spent the next hour...

I arrived in Wellington last week and have been running around the town trying to set up some plans for the summer. I found a great flat to sublet while a few of the people go overseas for the summer. It is a typical old Wellington house with tons of character and set on the side of the steep hills that surround the city. Two nice big decks that...

Just a quick update on my travels, I braved the cold icey snow and went Snow-Boarding in Taupo. The weather was really bad, kept snowing all day and was quite windy, but still managed to have a wicked day. Had my 1 and half hour lesson, in which i learned how to get on the board (without slipping on my ****...), turn and stop (which i practiced ...

18.07 - I almost didn't get up this morning because I was so tired. I wasn't woken up thankfully but felt like two minutes since I had gotten into bed. My first task when I went to work was to go to the supermarket to grab some milk and yoghurts for the café. The cold air soon had me awake although I couldn't stop yawning. To make matter even wo...

Something I forgot to mention. I finally met the guy in Auckland who was keeping us all awake. He was a tiny little oriental guy, from Holland. It turns out his wife left him because of the snoring (he asked me if it bothered me, politely I replied no, but I think the french guy may have said something to reception). He make have made a racket w...
