Well I made it to New Zealand, and to Kristins, its so amazing to see her!! It is such a long way from home tho!! I'm glad I stopped over in Tokyo as it atleast broke up the journey a bit! Am currently feeling very tired. Last night when I got here I said I would go in to school with Pheobe in the morning but I only woke up at 1pm so a bit late for school, and I only woke up then because Kristin came and got me up! I might have slept forever otherwise!! Have had a shower tho which was so blissful, I am clean for the first time since home really! (I did wash in Tokyo, but it was a funny little shower!).

Where I am staying is so nice. Kristins house is lovely, I have my own room and she has put photos of everyone from home in there, it was so cute of her. I slept so well last night, she laughed at me this morning because I hadnt even slept on the pillows! I think I lay down and fell straight to sleep! Kristin drove around last night, it is such a lovely place, theres a long row of shops and cafes and bars and there is a harbour oneside and the beach the other side, its kinda a peninsula (i think thats the right geographical term!) and then right at the end there is the big Mount. In the summer I can imagine this place is heaving but it'll be cool and Im sure it wont be too hard for me to find some work in a bar or something. So we are going out tonight in the town with a group of Kristins girl friends and her sister who lives downstairs. Hopefully I will have woken up by then!!!

Well better go, I am gonna STRAIGTHEN MY HAIR!! Hahahaha! xxx
