So I've arrived in New Zealand.

First impressions, I prefer it to Australia already, it seems a little more hectic and lively and the layout makes a little more sense.  It's kinda like a cheaper, cleaner London.

At the moment I'm in Auckland.  Hoping to make the most of the North Island in under 2 weeks.  Then I'll head, via a scenic railway, to Wellington (Capital of NZ) at the bottom of the North Island.  Thus our South Island trek shall begin; apparently it's meant to be the most scenic part of New Zealand but I'll just have to wait and see.  I'm really excited about this part of the trip.  Not only is this the place where I'm set to do my Sky-Dive, but there just seems to be so much more going on despite the fact that it's so much smaller than Oz.

I'll be sure to keep you posted as and when I can but for now,
Peas Out Dudes & Dudettes,
Niall
