Hello to those who are faithfully still reading these, i reckon there's about 3 of you!
Wow, so i think i have lost count now of the number of times i have made and changed plans during this trip, and once again my plans have shifted dramatically. I left off on my last blog where i was in Dunedin, temporarily staying with Lilys parents which was great, and i was looking for work around town. Since then i have been staying with Lily at her flat which has been incredible, she has taken me to a couple of beaches which you can see on the photographs, esp Long Beach which was gorgeous.
Over the past week i have done some temp work for a local agency which has basically been furniture removal, which was certainly interesting. Dunedin itself is fantastic, and i have enjoyed being here (esp the Japanese food! Jizo, wow!) but i find that because i don't have a job or know that many people here that i am just looking to pass time, and that is totally against my whole reason for being here in NZ. So to cut a long story short, i am moving on up north. Things with me and Lily will have to be put on hold for now, until she saves enough money to come and see Europe with me :)
So this weekend i am looking forward to some baking sun in Wanaka (it's been 30 plus every day) and a nice weekend with Lily and then i am leaving next Tuesday to head up to the Bay of Islands, where i have another hostel cleaning job waiting for me! After that i will fly home on my original return date which is March 28th. It's unbelievable, i cannot believe nearly a year has passed and i will be back on english soil in less than 6 weeks. It really makes you realise how short a year can be.
So i promise i will have more interesting things to write when i am up north and once again travelling alone! Just wanted to keep you updated. :)
Take Care
