I'm back at Miki's in One Tree Hill..... it's so nice to sleep in a double bed.. been so long since I last did!!!!

Anna is coming out to meet me in Sydney; so I fly there on 23rd October. To kill time up until then (not so difficult in NZ!!) I am flying back down to Queenstown next week so I can go on the Kiwi Experience 'Bottom Bus' and go to Dunedin and Invercargill etc and go as far south as I can before I begin heading back up north (to OZ).....

Was looking forward to it, but the weather seems to have taken a turn for the worse and its winter again in the South Island - I was about to post all my winter clothes back home, and now I'm not so sure I should!!!  I will be heading back down south with Roxanne - who is applying for a Working Holiday Visa and is now staying in NZ until May.... I think I'd better apply for one now too, before my next birthday: so I have the option of coming back here next year to work! I love New Zealand!

It's been great to see baby Mathias again - he's now crawling.... and it;s Beej's birthday tomorrow so we're having a party on Saturday.

Will update you again soon.

Lots of love Jo xxxx
