Vancouver











Lovely trip to Canada to see family on the way back to Europe - spent some time getting to know a few younger cousins, Toby, Isaac, Elliot and Harper!
And a dog named Charlie. :o

East Cape....with pictures!





















Ok, turned my camera back on after 3 days and....Huzzah!!! It's actually working, even after being completely drenched :D So have managed to snag the pictures I took before the fateful waterfall experiment.

Was an interesting trip out east, and one that has concluded my NZ travels. From now on it's back to Auckland to spend the last few days on VERY little money (hm I have 130 bucks to last me 5 days...eep), because on Friday I leave for Vancouver. Next blog update from Canada!

East Cape

Am enjoying a great trip out to the East Cape of the North Island at the moment, unfortunately I managed to take my camera with me into a waterfall, so, uh, no pictures at the moment ahaha. Pray it starts working tomorrow!

Doing lots of Maori culture type things, seems to be a big Maori population out here. All fun! Hopefully I can snag some photos off my friends to show you what's going on.

South Island farewell
















Well after 2 months it was time to say goodbye to the South Island today. Had such a good time down there, seen some stunning scenery, met some amazing people, and did some hard work too!

A few photos to finish it off - finally a decent shot of Mt Cook, NZ's highest mountain (all other times I've been near it it's been covered in cloud), and a beautiful shot of The Remarkables one sunset in Queenstown. Good stuff!

Am in Wellington for a few days, then heading back to Auckland before exploring a few more sights on the North Island.
