I have manged to have a fairly chilled day and planned out my travels, so that I know what I am doing in each place. Sadly I awoke to the sound of rain and was not lucky enough to enjoy another day of sunshine, which I am sure pleases everybody back in the UK.

Marathon training has been commenced over here in NZ and I needed a t-shirt that said 'I am not stupid but training for a marathon' today. I went out in ice cold rain and completed a 6km run, which was good but man do I wish I don't have to be training whilst out here.

I am surprisingly not feeling jet lagged at all and managed stay up till 10:30 last night and be up at 8am this morning. Long may this continue as my busy travels will begin on Friday! It will be a busy travels for the 2 weeks but it will be worth it to see everything.

Nothing much else has happened and so will sign off and update you following my first experience of driving in NZ tomorrow.
