Hi everyone, Well sorry I haven't been able to write again for quite a while but I have been in a few remote places again and sometimes the internet is really hard to work or really expensive ($8 an hour at the last 2 places which is double what it is here!) Last time I wrote I was in Wellington, and I am pleased to report that it continued to impress. Wellington reminded me ofSan Francisco but smaller and not as hilly.

Hi there everyone and greetings from Wellington, capital of New Zealand. Apologies to everyone who has impatiently awaited the next installment. I have been pretty much without internet or phone signal for the last week because I have been touring round the eastern cape of the North Island.

It's so weird out here, yo...

It reminds me of the Crystal Maze! I am in Auckland now and oh my god is it sunny! The Cook Islands rained for the rest of my visit, we all sat and talked for the last few days, it felt like being on Big Brother! We narrowly missed getting hit by a cyclone which could have meant my demi...
