Winter hols
Arghh! My winter hols are over already an dback to school tomorrow. Nevermind i had an absolutely awesome time and got to see a bit more of NZ which was great. The Coromandel was a beautiful part of NZ as was north of Auckland around Whangerei. Unfortunately, when Karen and I visited Whangerei the weather was awful (althoug two days after we left storms hit that part of Nz and caused havoc). It was great to get out of Auckland for a bit though. When the weather is raining all the time the scenery of Nz is just like the lake District. Makes you a little bit homesick really.
Our friend Stuart (wo we met on the Trans-Sib train) came to stay from Adelaide for a few days. It was great to see him and we reminisced about the train trip - more of a counselling session for him though. Went to watch the rugby last night (NZ v. South Africa) it’ll be absolutely mental when the world cup starts. I hope the All Blacks win it or else i think tehwhole country will go into mourning.
