A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

Said goodbye to another NZ buddy this morning - 5AM at the airport to be precise :o(
The Keith-meister arrived in NZ at the same time as me, and was also planning to do a full year here. So i was slightly surprised when he turned up at the Loft Style Appartment the other day, at 7:45AM (ug) with an incredible tale of falling in love with 'Erdigan' (Spelt phonetically) the previously mentioned Welsh bird who he'd spent a few weeks with, but who had flown home recently, and his decision to drop his travelling plans to go back and visit her (Unannounced!!!) to see how things work out!
We spent his last night in NZ sat up on in the Port hills, looking down on the sprawling, twinkling Christchurch below discussing life, love, NZ and football, before heading back to town for a couple of Mac's Golds. Gawd bless ya mate, and the best of luck with the little Leek fancier.
As happy as i'll be for Keith, should things work out, i must admit to being a bit peeved that another mate, has now buggered off from NZ. However life's looking up for the next few weeks, as hopefully i'll be off to do the Heaphy Track at some point with Alex & Jo, and on April 6th i'm aiming to take part in 'Le Race' - a 100k bicycle race, from Christchurch to Akaroa, and the closest i'll ever get to being Lance Armstrong for a day!. As long as I manage to get my hands on a bicycle by then that is.
