no USA but NZ !!!

NEW ZEALAND | Sunday, 15 April 2007 | Views [1491] | Comments [17]

Hello everybody!!

Sorry for the delay...well for the one who does not know, i could not get to USA. It was a mess total.I arrived at the airport , ready to check in and the lady told me that my passport was not valid for the USA!! I was very upset. And of course I checked it before my trip and i understood that it was ok but I need a tourist visa.And apparently it depnds of the month of the issue, well anyway i contaced the Fench consultadt in Edinbughr to see if I could get a urgent temporary passport and it was not possible. So the steward from air New Zealand told me i could get a seat for the plan for Auckland the same day at 21h05. I had to run to london victoria station, get re issued my ticket and finally i managed to get in the plane. So i arrived in auckland on Wenesday 11 april at 9 am after 24 hours flight, stopping in Hong Kong 2 hours.

Anyway just to tell you that I am safe and in New Zealand. I spent 2 days in auckland, quiet nice city.Then on friday I wen to Paihia in the north , north of the north Island untill today.

There I met this amazing american woman in a boat trip.she was in Paihia for the week end. She lives for a while in Auckland for her compagny. she was goimg back to auckland today and she offers me to give me a free lift. It was very cool and we went to do some sandbording and to see the oldest tree in the rainforest on our way down. I will talk more about her next time.Her name is Brigitte.

Next time i will put some photos.And tomorrow I am doing a tour for the next 10 days. Here it is very commun for backpaker to do some bus tour.It is the cheaper way to travel and to meet people.

So I start to Auckland , Hahei, Hot Water Beach, Raglan, Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, Taupo lake, National Park and finishing in Wellington.

I will give you more details next time.

I hope you are all fine and that you dont forget me!!!

Please give the link of the poeple that I forget!! :)

Lot of love!!!!

Milou

sacrablue(mis-spelt i know),stupid americans(i like america if the C.I.A are reading this and if there not) for not wanting you in their country, anyway you should ask for the statue of liberty back.Things are going well here in irelandais. i'm working with my dad and am in the middle of applying to get onto some courses here.there a genral election here soon and my dads a member of the opposition party at grass roots level so this morning we were invited to a large breakfast gathering with the leader of the party and the future prime minister of ireland( not bad i think thats what you call climbing the social ladder. i hope you stay safe in your travels and i'll write soon . are you going back to edinbourg anytime soon?????

You've always been such an adventurer, Emi! Glad to hear you managed to sort this problem out - well NZ is a pretty decent destination too :))

Don't forget that life's too short so you should make the most of it! But apparently you understood what "seize the day" means. If only I could follow you in your craziness, I'd be in seventh heaven ;)

Every now and then I'll check your blog to see how things are going on your end of the world!

Take care Emi, XxX

Hey Em, glad to hear you arrived safely, even if it was in the wrong country??!! What a drama!

Everything tops here in Edinburgh, Dave and I just got back from a week down south in Cornwall... beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal clear (freezing) water, was great to be near the coast again. We ate loads of Cornish pasties, went for lots of walks in the countryside, long drives, explored, drank alot (of course) in quaint English pubs, etc etc.
Got back Tuesday night - Dave's dad is still here, staying in the box room.. driving me freaking crazy, ha.

Oops, this is getting a bit long for a small message! Will email you soon, have fun and enjoy your adventures!
