So now im in sydney! I've been here a couple of days and have managed to get a great surf in Manly where i had at least 3 near death experiences with gettig wiped out! I'll soon get the hang of these ozzy waves...!

The rest of new zealand was cool i went to Taupo, then Rotorua-where we went to this maouri culture evening and they showed us how they lives and cooked us an awesome traditional maouri meal called a hangi-and then went to Auckland. In Wellington i had a great time with Laurence, we just chilled out but had a brilliant weekend at the Wellington rugby 7s-ive put the photos up-and you will see we had a great time! highly inebriated at times though...!

I went to the cricket yesterday to see england THRASH australia in the second finals! Great to see it i celebrated hard at all the wickets! Anyway im off up the east coast in a few days so will report back in a week or so.
