various new zealand

Well its been a while since doing my blog! thought id put some pics on with brief descriptions!
but to sum up nz has been awesome!

me below with my big hair, beard and 1st jumper/hoody since travelling (1 year) not bad as ive not been too cold without until now!


pics below are of a place called craters of the moon, in taupo, this place was quite surreal with loads of steam and bubbling mud coming out the ground ( this part of nz has loads of places like this, the near town of rotarua smells of eggs due to the gas/steam! pleasant!




below are pics of the river and huka falls in taupo (all part of my 6 hour return walk!)

at least as part of my long walk i got to stop off in some hot springs and rest my feet!



my flatmate kelly in her room which is often messy! (sorry kelly) but tidy aswell some times!

lake taupo (hopefully will skydive over it soon!!!!!!!)

Easter weekend we went to raglan, awesome surf town where i caught my 1st waves!!!! it was an awesome long wkend!!!

me in my tight wetsuit! 9ft learner boards near by! maybe one day ill be able to surf on a smaller board!
