hey,

Again my plan to update this every day has failed. but i have much news.

Firstly, im now traveling by myself. i unfortunately left my dear friend Chris in Brisbane. i moved up the coast to cairns! first activity there, diving on the Great Barrier reef. Was good fun. Though to be honest i was expecting better. i believe we were treated to some of the best diving in the world in Thailand. but to say Ive dived the great barrier reef is pretty cool.

After 2 days in the north of Australia i took a flight over "the ditch" as they say to New Zealand, Auckland to be precise. Where im staying for a few night at my aunt pips house about 50km south of the city. Pips been a great help getting the rest of my Kiwi Adventure sorted and letting me stay. After the initial greetings to the new members of the family (Kyle and Baby Reilly) we settled down chatting away about our lives to date.

Tonight promises to be a really good night. Got a ticket to Chiefs Vs Hurricanes in the Semi-final of the Super 14 down in Hamilton! and im really looking forward to it. I've also booked myself a little bungy jump from the Auckland harbour bridge on Monday.

My Travels continue on Wednesday where i join the Kiwi Experience bus that takes me everywhere i wanted to go. namely the north island and down to Queenstown in the south and back up to Christchurch.
