kIA oRA!!! I've made it to New Zealand!!! Its absolutley fantastic to see Miki and Beej and to meet new baby Mathias!!!!! Because I was here last November it feels like coming home, and its so fabulous to have a hot shower when you know the water isnt going to run out and there arent ants running over everywhere and I dont have to wear my flip flops in the shower and I know I have a lovely double bed to sleep in tonight!!! Also had a home cooked meal and will do all my washing tomoro and then get all the sand out of my rucksack!! Have decided to send home a package of all the leaflets etc I've picked up, my lonely planet guides to Rarotonga and Fiji and other items... I also need to make space in my rucksack as i need to buy a coat, a warm jumper and some nice boots/shoes to wear as all I have is my trainers and flipflops - not suitable to the weather in NZ at the moment - and defo not for when I get to the South Island on 2nd Sep!!! Will update all my photos and put on more captions and proper descriptions for all the images now i have 24 hour access to internet and also to Skype!! Hope to meet up with everyone I've met so far who happens to be in NZ. And hope to hear that Dee, Theresa and Brid have made it to OZ!!! Lots of love Jo xxxxxxxxxxxx
