Hey people of the world.
I am currently sat in a tiny little place called Motueka on the South Island of New Zealand on day 2 of a 10 day journey through unthinkably beautiful scenery. There is no WiFi out here so I am currently on a 30 minute machine were I thought I would do a little update so I don’t keep you all hanging.
Basically, the last week has been spent with my Mum and Dad and other relatives. Mainly catching up and doing the family thing. We have done a few awesome things between now and then. We visited Ocean Beach which is somewhere I have never been but am really glad that I have had the chance to go to with Heather. The beach is miles of white sand and large crashing waves. We had a little go on the boogey board then dried off in the sun. The other things that we go upto included dog walking at 6.00am over Bluff Hill, more swimming in but at the Hot Spas on Marine Parade, Eating yummy food at Wild Rose with my Mum and riding on the Bullet with my Dad (Heather didn’t, because she promised not to do anything dangerous).
Yesterday we set off on our South Island adventure so we could return before Christmas. Thomas came along with us as his Chritmas present from my Mum and Dad. So far he seems to really be enjoying it. We all are to be honest.
Last night we stayed in wellington at the YHA, which is a huge hostel. Was actually pretty decent for the cost. Was pretty noisy and Thomas seems to have sleep tourettes so that kept us all awake. After a restless night we caught the Interislander over to Picton. It takes ages and the sea was particualary rough so we all were glad once we hit the land again.
From Picton we drove to Nelson where we went to see the Jeweler who designed and made all the Lord of the Rings rings. We got to see the very first one, which isn’t for sale. Heather got her fix and we carried on to Motueka where we will be staying over tonight before we do a bit of sea kayaking. Very excited as Kiateriteri where you do it is incredibly beautiful.
Only short this time guys. Sorry. Running out of internet time.
Will update in a few days. Hopefully with pictures but maybe not until the we get back to Napier.
Love and Peace.

Ah New Zealand… how good to be back! In fact, I reckon the reason Tim hardly commented on Dunc’s blog was because they never went to New Zealand. Not their fault, but it just didn’t seem right!!
That bike looks pretty sweet – I do like motorbikes but can’t help but feel the people who ride them are nutters! Well, maybe not all, but a fair few of them are. Maybe its me and the fact that when I’m in the car and I see/hear a biker coming, weaving in between anything and everything on the road, I’m thinking “Oh my god, I’m gonna kill him. For god’s sakes Matty, just don’t kill him”
Anyway, good to hear from you again.

Sounds like an awesome relaxing start to the second leg! Hope everything is going to plan on the south! Are you guys gonna do anything crazy like Skydiving, Bungee Jumping or Luge-ing down the side of a mountain while down there? I do hope so!
Your house has already become a bad influence on me. I was missing the bass oh-so-much when I came home so have splashed the cash on an early christmas present for myself in the shape of a Bose speaker system…
Looking forward to the pictures!
Ho Ho Ho
Love X
