Well New Zealands sun is out in glory over the last week the weather has been glorious!! I have been out on my bike every day checking out the baby ducklings on the pond! :) Got loads of hours at work this week so well chuffed with that to save some pennies!! Also put a request in for the 14th/15th/16th January off for one of Australia/New Zealands biggest festivals called Big Day Out, will hopefully be given the time off :) head lining are Muse awesome band. Also popped into flight centre to look at my return trip home to England. Looking at stops on the way back in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay, Dubai and then arriving into Heathrow. Will hope to be back home by Christmas next year! But who knows. Will not tell the folks though would like to suprise them!! Having a flat BBQ tomorrow evening which will be awesome with the landlady! Funny one that one! But any excuse for a few glasses of wine and a couple of kebabs. Christmas decorations are slowly going up around the city preparing for another Christmas in the sun!! Kinda miss the cold, snowy ones to be honest. Just not the same when its 30 degrees.

I have now been in New Zealand for just over two weeks!! What can i say it is completely different to Oz! Basing myself in Christchurch for the next few months, pretty quiet city but can certainly rock when it wants to. This is good for me so it means i can save some money. Working in a boutique 5* hotel in the city!! Very lush green surroundings and also has a nice beach called Sumner! Kinda reminds me of St Kilda in Melbourne well that kind of atmosphere.

Have moved into a flat last week with six other people, 3 guys and 3 girls a real varied bunch actually we have English, Korean and Japanese in the group which makes meal times absolutley awesome. Really getting into Asian food at the moment!!

Weather has remained good since i arrived with only a couple of days of rain which is great as i bought myself a bike when i arrived in New Zealand so i can save myself some $$$ on public transport. Travelled on the gondala today with Tyler a Canadian who i travelled with for a while in Oz! What amazing view from the top, simply awesome. Had a busy few days visiting the Canterbury Royal Show and the Canterbury Races with some of the flatmates, was great opportunity to see a sheep shearing contest, tractor racing, wood chopping and get this a Shetland Pony Grand National run by 9-13 year olds!!!
