NZ makes great apples

l

So, im all the down here in New Zealand. Its bloody strange being here, firstly missing Thursday 27th all together, on a plane, with the time difference and all, too much to think about, who is in what time zone. There is a Body Shop, Borders, Nandos (not that I go but still) In the supermarket I can buy anything, it was like waitrose! the choice was unbeliveable, from home made pesto, a million types of bread freshly baked, 10´s of different types of olives, meats cheeses, mm bree, and lots of litle pots of dips & homous! havent had that in sooo soo long, well, since Bogota I think, in the basket that goes, & the choice of wine, especially white, wowee! mmm can´t wait to get stuck into Marlboroughs, but think will visit there in a few days time and go for tastings at the actual vine yards (Anna you would love it!)
My 1st night I spent in town, on one of the busiest streets, the yellin gthat came from the bars and clubs, when me, this porr jet lagged girl was trying to sleep wa slike something from Blackpool oin a friday night! and all the hostels in the centre are a bit grimy, faceless and I was sharing a room with 2 other girls and frankley, it was a bit smelly! Also I was jet lagged and so feeling a bit lonely and sorry for myself, just really wanting my own bed, a nice clean bathroom and a drink, meal or gossip with my family and friends, (amazing how a lack of sleep and disorientation can make you feel,) obviously I do feel these things after 9 months of being away but usually it opasses fairly quickly. So action was needed, I moved out of town came to the suberbs to a cute place called Mt Eden, its very hampstead like all cutsie coffee & cake shops and I walked round today and couples were brunching together, and lots of ladies and kids walking their lovely adorable dogs, lots of people jogging too. Its based around Mt Eden which is a distinct volcano, very lush and green with amazin views over whole city. Id had an amzing nights sleep after cooking a great thai curry washed down with NZ´s tasty Marlborough & I actually had a duvet, always nice especially in this slightly cooler climate. For Winter tjough, I must say, its not v cool at all. Great because im missing sunshine and beaches, roll on 3 wks time in Northern Oz. That reminds me, im on a bit of a health kick. Gone are the days of Argentinas Delisiously amazing ice cream & cakes & dulce de leche so Gone are the days of eating these treats everyday without a care in the world! I have 3-4wks before im hopefully back on the stunning beaches of Oz so gotta get bikini beach ready, wish me luck. Well, I will write more asap but my credit is going to run out any second, thats another thing, actually paying for wifi in this country, but im off to explore further south tomorroe, a beautiful national park with multicolured mineral pools, geysers and lush countryside.
Bye for now lovelies xxxx
