hello all. wow what a fast and event filled two weeks i've had. my apologies for keeping this brief but in the past two weeks i have been to the southern most point in new zealand, had a snowball fight and gone skiing followed by visiting thermal pools, spending a day sailing in my bathing suit and traveling along the east in west coast of the north island, and well i'm exhausted.

i am buy getting all my pictures uploaded and promise to spend a good part of my day tomorrow updating you on all my south island adventures, and hopefully sometime this week i can get to my north island travels (but with starting school back i'm making no promises). needless to say i have had two of the most amazing weeks of my life and have experienced the joys of traveling. although i am looking forward to getting back into my routine and enjoying Sharleen's cooking again.

cheers! more to come tomorrow. goodnight from the other side of the world.
