... that the grass is different a little bit. In other words, it is important, I feel, to live life now, as you are, without excuses, without holding back and without limiting or eliminating your dreams and passions. <br><br>It is important to life life boldly, with intention, with goals and with loving kindness for all people including yourself. We create our worlds ourselves, we expand them or make them as small as our living room tv sets ...

... thank goodness, although once back at the car I had to use my cardigan on the seat to stop mud going everywhere.<br><br>We then headed off further up the coast to Huia and then on to Little Huia, driving along the little road, snaking along the coast right next to the sea. The road eventually turned into a stone track as we headed up into the mountains. Once again we felt like we were the only people on earth - not a person in sight. I just was keeping my fingers ...

... Land of the Long Dairy Products but it is here where I will be back to.<br><br>I was asked the question aside from friends and family what is it you miss the most. It wasn't the lakes the mountains the sea the forest. It was Bfm. Call me weird but those that know what I am talking about just call me and we can swap new tunes as you will know what I am talking about.<br><br>Ka Kite Kiwiland. <br>Welcome Aussie.<br>This fun is slowly drawing to a close.<br><br> <br>

Hello from New Zealand, also known as Aeteroa in Maori. In English this translates into the title for this blog. <br><br>We arrived in Auckland on 18 June and headed straight north to just outside Albany where we had a wonderful time staying with our cousins Sean and Lani and their three gorgeous children. We were completely spoilt staying in their beautiful house in the stunning North Island countryside, had wonderful homecooked food and were entertained ...

Shortly after writing our last blog we decided we were having too much fun in NZ and getting too attached to the Woodpigeon. After an hour on hold with Qantas we managed to change our ticket - for free!! That gave us 6 weeks in New Zealand altogether!! Arrived in Fox Glacier in the mist and minus my book (which randomly fell out the van, how? I don't know). The mist continued for a few days, woke up on Matts birthday to a beautiful clear day ...

... a 20cent coin to the garage floor with a nail gun. So alot was accomplished. Just not alot of what I had intended to accomplish. Tuesday night was Straight Up PHAT (our bible study) so nothing got done that night either. Well, not nothing - we ate dinner and watched a sermon by John Piper. Pretty good nothing really. Today is Wednesday. This evening after work I will be spending some much ...

... now I can only buy 49 cents for that same Kiwi dollar. Yoweee! But I don't care. Not now. One of the extraordinary things about being involved in a Cambodian volunteer teaching project is that I dream about this place nearly every single night. Somehow the place is etched deep into my brain. A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of meeting another volunteer to Savong's School - an American from New Mexico, Holger ...

Flying into Auckland the weather is calm and cloudy allowing for some fantastic views of the city and surrounding 'burbs. Joe kindly offered to take some photos out of the window as she was sitting in what could have been my seat. Touchdown! Finally, the anticipation is quelled be the bustle of those around me as desperate to get out of the plane as I am. The 'see you then' to Steve and Joe is just in time as they are herded away down the aisle to the exit and the fresh air that ...

... where you are going.... it is the wave of the future! Man, I thought it was soo cool. Basically, when the light turns it is time to walk and anyone can walk from anywhere to anywhere. The cars all stand still and you can just meander around for 30 seconds if you want..... walk around in circles, no one cares. It is really cool. The other thing occurred to me when we were having beers on a friends porch. We had run out and were saying that they should go up to the grog ...
