We got up early this morning, not to do the cows as it was wet and miserable (plus Jock said the cows had s*** everywhere due to the bad weather and it wasn't a nice place to be this morning), but to get ready to go back to Christchurch for Jades orthodontist appointment. I was aware that I'd just come from here the day before but it was nice to spend time with Jade and also to see the route that I'd driven yesterday from the passenger seat. It's hard to take in ...

I woke up this morning after a cold nights sleep on the air bed. Gareth's girlfriend got up and went home and I got up soon after. I was driving to the west coast today so Gareth cooked me a BBQ breakfast so I was well fed before I went! It was a gorgeous morning, sunny and warm, so we ate out on the balcony. We chatted for a bit but I wanted to get on the road as it was going to take about 4 hours to get to Jades. I filled up again and hit the road. I drove via...

God I had a crap nights sleep! Wellington is noisy and I think subconsciously I was worried about getting up on time this morning! But I got up just after 6am as planned. It was dark and raining.

I'd left my bags on the bed post and my clothes and shoes ready to go at the end of my bed. I was very burglar-esque in my movements and manag...

Well, as days go, I've had better. I got up after an on off nights sleep (the loud thumping music went on till about 2 or 3). I was tired and it was raining. I checked out of my lovely (well it was bog standard basic but felt like luxury) room, got to my car to chuck my stuff in and oh lovely, a parking ticket. It was only £6 which probably worked out cheaper than a car park so I'll take that! I set off on my 4.5 hour journey to Wellington. New Zealand is still ...

I woke up when Ben was making his breakfast again this morning. It was a lovely morning and he suggested I should take a walk up Mount Maunganui as I'd not done it yesterday morning! So he went to work and I packed my stuff up and started my walk along the beach about half 8. I'm desperate for a lay in or duvet day but I just keep telling myself I can do that when I'm dead. It was lovely out and warm already. I passed a guy meditating on the beach front, sat next...
