Much long tripping later and fun plane rides (I spelt a lot on the second one unfortunately)I was back in the UK!
I waited for my bus then Tony picked me up from Wolves, it was so good to see him! At home he had set up a surprise for me as I'd got him while i was away with an egg hunt XD I had 70+ kinder eggs all set up on the stairs! XD We spent the rest of the day lazing around and chatting :]

I love flying

Today was harsh, we got up early to drop me off at the airport ;/
I'll admit I cried quite a bit, even after leaving Mum & Jen. Like leaving Wanganui, seeing a family together at Auckland Airport, randomly, and then when I left NZ later in the day. It was a pretty shite day which even the beautiful sunrise and plane trips couldn't distract me from much.

My last full day in NZ today, we went on the other side of the Wanganui River road, all the way exploring this and that and stopping for photos. At the end of the trip we stuck around the house and I fed the sheep some apples as a goodbye treat.

MASSIVE Bee!

Went over to Fielding today with Dad and Jen as we missed it the first time we intended to go. There was a little market, lots of shops to check out and the livestock market was on too so that was really interesting to see.
Later on we went out with Mum too for a drive about past her house and saw the brightest rainbow x3

Awesome Fielding Sign

( Lots to see today )

It was a bit of a grey day so we just went for a walk down the beach looking for an old war time hide, we didn't find it but we also managed to loose each other for a while *duh* Found some interesting things on the beach though. Mum also had me take a pic of a dead fish but i didn't want to post that one xp

Me, Dad and Jen went canoeing down the Wanganui river today! We did 8km, and didn't take quite as long as we did the first time we tried it XD
Mum, Jen & I went out for tea in the evening too as we couldn't go out yesterday.

My NZ ride...please?

( And on the river )

Back from a night at Palmy with Jen, today was NZ mothers day! We'd got some things for Mum over the past few days and before leaving picked up this little bonsai x3
The rest of the day we spent around the house :]

We got up early today to sell Walnuts at the local market. Didn't do very well at first but once the weather picked up and I made a sign for the middle of the path things started to get going! I think we made over $100 in the end!

Mmm Rainy

( Also around the market )

We went up the Wanganui river road today, it was a good trip and lovely seeing the views and rain in the valleys. It was a lot longer than we remembered!

Okay, no more detailed descriptions for a while and lets get this thing going. Second half of the Taranaki Loop.
Oh, I've tried to fix the hover alt's as well, if you like to read those :]

Our last day in Taupo we explored the falls again, we just can't help ourselves XD We spent an hour or so at a honey shop, where they had bees in hives and videos on the process.
We left not long after that so we could look at some things on our way back home. First we went to a trout farm which now charges so we didn't go in (cheapskates! XD) and then onto have lunch before heading down the desert road by mistake. I didn't mind, I'd wanted to go that way anyway XD
We went up Ruapehu then to find a waterfall and see the view, it was pretty cold and windy but was worth it, the waterfall wasn't the one Dad was originally thinking of but i thought it was pretty awesome X3

3rd day, 3 falls pics

( Guess what, it's NZ! )

Current Mood: dorky

Maccies for breakfast, which in Taupo has a little aeroplane to sit in and eat too X3
I wanted to see a place called Orakei Korako today, another place we've seen before but i think you should see again XD It was really expensive to get in this time though, so it could be the last time we go. It's a natural thing, all caused by the thermal activity of the area. I was a little disappointed in that they closed off one of my favourite areas, a massive cave, but since no one was around me and Jen went down into the cave anyway and mooched at the warm water pool at the bottom, one of only 2 known in the world apparently!
We also had a closer look around Huka falls today, my camera doesn't do it justice i don't think, this thing is huge and so blue.

I'm so lazy, I know...
Today me, Dad and Jen went up to Taupo lake, Mum had to work unfortunately. We had a good time exploring all the places we know of and finding a couple of new places like a lake under the mountains.
We found a motel to stay in that was really nice and cheap too =D

Up the paras

( Sorry, tons of pics again )

We went to Hawera today to visit my Aunt and Uncle, in retrospect i should've spent a bit more time around the house bt instead me and Jen went for an explore around the town. I didn't get many pictures though and the ones I did get I got better the next time we came into town :]
This is my Aunt's dog though, they got her cheap because she had one too many bones in her tail docked by the breeder, so she literally has no tail, poor thing. Of course this doesn't make any difference on her wonderful personality so I think my Aunt got some great luck in getting her x3

Lily i think

Current Mood: mellow

We went to Palmerston North again today, to mooch at the shops and a couple of other things locally. The weather wasn't very good again so it wasn't much bother to just be mooching about the shops :] I found one I particularly liked, called Smiggle, which has super cute stationary and stuff x3
They also had a bit of a display of old cars in the centre, although occasionally you'll also see cars like this on the road in NZ, yet I'm not sure I've seen one in the UK.

It's actually piiiink

( Red theme today )

We went round and about the town today, the weather wasn't very good so we were just visiting :] We went to my Aunt's house for an hour or so and I got to play with her new cocker spaniel puppy, then my cousins' border collie pup <3

Such a beauty

Current Mood: cheerful
