Beard goes Backpacking Something to keep my mum happy while her youngest disappears for 2 months!!!

second half...

NEW ZEALAND | Wednesday, 25 April 2007 | Views [454] | Comments [3]

So i'm one month in, and one month to go.  It's certainly going to be a game of 2 halves.  First = party.  2nd = culture (+ party).  The rugby was great, the home team won.  You can't beat a good live-at-the-game atmosphere.

Next, in Kaikoura, I went whale watching.  We saw 3 sperm whales, and the Classic sight of when they dive down and give a magnificent view of their tails.  I managed a couple of pics which I am dead proud of.

Now back in Wellington in North Island, headed back to the very top - Cape Reinga - for a spot of sand-boarding.  After that it's time to chill in Hamilton for a couple of weeks.  One last 'fix' - Ju and Ki have bought a motorbike so i'll don some padding and go for a spin hopefully! ...Then the Big Trip Home.  Take cover I'm full of beans!  Woohoo!!

Well I've just returned from Asda and done a spot of spring cleaning-how our lives differ!
I should think you are full of beans reading your blogs-you must be on top of the world...or er in New Zealand.
Look forward to seeing you soon,

Hi Laura
We (Ann C., Pichard, Terry, me and your mum) have all been looking at your photos, and laying bets as to how long it will be before you are off again after this adventure. Terry said 'God bless her shes lovely your daughter which, I think, made your mum glow with pride. You look so happy its great to see. We are looking forward to hearing your tales on your return.
Loads of love from all of us.

Laura, Just read your blog for the first time. Lovely. So Laura. I love your comment about being able to buy whatever you need in NZ! Presuming you are now the NZ women's champion tramper, kayaker, bungee-er etc! After reading your blog life in Suffolk seems both pedestrian and blissfully chilled.
Look forward to reading more. Lots of love to you Little Miss Sunshine. Claire x
