About time I wrote again....been too long! So I haven't been upto as much the last few weekends, mainly because of the weather and I have tried to start saving a few pennies :) But I have been for a few drives, walks and bike rides! I went to the zoo last weekend, which was really cool but the UK zoo's have more animals and are bigger! I also found out that NZ doesn't have a theme park!! This weekend I'm going to explore more the the East and coast. Theres...
