Hey everyone! Sorry to leave you all hanging for so long. I have been living aboard the good ship Rose Maree and cruising around the northeast coast of NZ. It has been an amazing experience and will unfortunately be coming to an end in the next week or so. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words so I won't even attempt to describe it all, but take a look at the new pictures on Flickr. Just a small selection of the best! Right now I am sitting in an Organic Cafe on Waiheke island enjoying the great weather. I have begun to realize that I am in the final stages of my trip! I am past the halfway point and it is all starting to slide faster and faster towards the end! It has been an absolutely amazing trip so far and I hope I can do just as well in the last few months!
My next step is I am going to do a quick road trip with some friends around the Bay of Plenty region and then I am going to the south island before I run out of time. There is an amazing amount of stuff to do here and I have been trying to cram it all in. If you cram too much though it isn't nearly as fun. I think it's better to miss some stuff and give me an excuse to come back soon!
