Well here I am again in ACB, home sweet hostel! I must say that I am slightly disappointed in the fact that I have received no emails in the time I've been away from Auckland . It's like you all have lives or something! Well anyway, in the time that has passed, I have been to the most northerly tip of New Zealand, hugged an ancient Kauri tree, seen the point at which two oceans meet and eaten world famous fish and chips (no not Harry Ramsdens!)....
