Hello again everybody! Another Gracie postcard! I have done so much since I last updated the website and spent quite a bit of money - but it's all been worth it! I left Wellington pretty early the next morning after writing my last journal update, and had great views of the Kapiti coast then some fab cliffs running alongside the river next to the road. It didn't take too long to get to my (and only mine) stop off at Turangi - it's not a Kiwi Experience overnight ...

The first night in Kaikoura after the let down with the rain and lack of whales was pretty good - went down to the local and rather nice (but expensive!) bar with most of the Kiwi bus peeps and some others from the hostel that were from a Kiwi bus before us. I got on really well with the girl...

I never went paragliding in the end the weather was too bad but I am going tomorrow yay! I said goodbye to some friends Friday morning and the rest on Saturday which was a bit sad but its' cool being on my own I don't mind I have chatted to quite a lot of people and my new room mates seem ni...

In case anyone has been confused by my postcards so far (all about Thailand), I wrote them all in New Zealand as I didn't get time in Thailand, so I wrote them in Christchurch and also Franz Joseph. Anyway, I can now start writing about New Zealand, and amazing that it is I haven't done as much stuff so far here in a week as I did in Thailand, but I am taking it at a much slower pace as I do have 6 weeks (only 5 now!) I met Nikki (friend from Blandford who I used...
