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.

Well, it's my last night in Aussie so i suppose i should fill you in on all the exciting, action packed activities i've been up to since i last posted on here.
I'd love to, but unfortunately the most extreme thing i've done in the last few days is to, er, play a round of, ahem, golf.
Honestly, i tried to go Paragliding, but unfortunately i underestimated just how out of season Apollo bay would be. The weather seemed fine to me, but i suppose for the poor Aussies it's just too cold, so sadly everything was shut down. Except the golf course anyway.
Apart from indulging in extreme-golf (Oh wow, it actually exists!), i played chess with semi-professional dutch hockey players and went for the odd pre-breakfast jog down the beach. All very relaxing, and just what i needed before heading off to the hectic lifestyle of Hawaii tomorrow ;op
Thanks again to everyone who's made my time in Aussie so much fun & so much less hard work than it would have been otherwise - Tom, Aimee, Gill, The Lucksmiths, the bloke with 7 kids by 5 different women running the hostel in Katoomba (No really - eek), Emma, Phoebe - Netball Ninja extraordinaire, Georgina, Scott (Despite being a Brizzy fan), the weirdos on the Trams and last but not least Lilly Pilly.
