Happy Christmas to all!! Hope everyone had a lovely day and thankyou for everyone's chritsmas wishes! We had a brilliant day at the orphans christmas festival on bondi beach. Our chritsmas dinner wasn't upto much but the music and atmosphere was electric. The sun even came out when its been overcast most of this week. Drinking commenced at 1pm with happy hour, and carried on until 10pm when we went to sit on the beach and cool down. Utah saints did a set and they...

We are now in Franz Josef and its a really pretty little town, but it's obviously juse here for us tourists as it only consists of pubs and one shop. On the journey over we visited a bushwaker museum where we fed a massive wild pig and saw a dvd about how the kiwis used to catch wild deer for farming. These crazy guys would jump out of a helicopter onto th...
