On The Road Again
Hey all,
Yes its true I have finally left Sydney, the savage house in Ashfield and the nice job in Vodafone. So its back on the road again first stop was Brisbane to meet Bev, a friend I met in India, strangely also met up with Dara and Dippy. So that was a nice couple of days, nothing major to report except for the morning of the flight. So the flight was at 10:30pm and I woke up in the morning around 8, slowly getting a shower, had a cup of coffee and no dramas just fluttered about. Got the bags put in storage all that type of stuff. Ok time to check the email, better have a quick look at the flight this is were all the problems started. The flight was at 10:30am. I looked at the clock, it was 8:45am. Right so I got my arse down to reception found out what was the fastest way to the airport. She said the train. So I ran pretty much the whole way to the train station ( with a 20kg back on my back and a 7kg bag on my front). Jumped on the train and now it was 50 mins before the flight. The train was supposed to take 20 mins so I would arrive in the airport 30 mins before the flight. Perfect timing I was thinking to myself. The operative word is that the train was supposed to take 20 mins, it ended up taking around 30 with me having mini heart attacks every 2 minutes or so. Get into the airport racing over the skywalk with the speed of Linford Christy and the grace of a hippo. get to the departures and ask the lovely lady “Are you still checking in for the Cairns flight”. She looked at the clock, looked at me, I mustered up every bit of a charming smile even though I was hung over and completely out of breath, with a sigh she said ok, I thanked her perfously, through her every document I had, and got checked in.
So after all the joy with the flight arrived in Cairns, spent a nice week not doing a whole lot just lazin about the hostel. And now I am in Auckland, new country, new people, new money, new weather (my god its cold). Have a look at the picks and sorry it took so long to get a post up again.

Loving the new jacket, cost me only $60 and its massive, weighs around 5kg. Getting ready for the Kiwi Experience tomorrow. Hows the camper going?

Camper is class, although we have to say goodbye to it tomorrow. Back up near Christchurch covered about 600Km yesterday! Was 2 degrees last night and that was warm compared to what we had been sleeping in! In Akaroa now. Wierd place. All the street names and a lot of the shops are in French! Rue Jolie, La Maison, etc. We reckon we have saved a packet on accom and stuff while here. We generally just find a little picnic area to park in for the night!
Enjoy the Kiwi Experience anyway. Did you get my mail about the hosting? Keep the updates coming anyway
