Half Way Away

I shall update you on the most recent event!!

I decided many, many months ago to go travelling and to work in the fresh air and see life from the other side of the world. Therefore I decided to quit working for Ladbrokes after my degree and go travelling and pick fruit etc. However when I got to Auckland I have had a wee bit of trouble trying to get a job outside as it is closed season in the fruit industry. SO I have been looking for a job in Auckland while I am staying with my Aunt and Uncle. Today I was successful in getting a part-time job .... in a bookies!!!!!!! I can't believe it I went half-way round the world and the first job I get is the one I just left. Humph!!!

However on a different note I have seen a bit more of Auckland, my cousin took me round the a volcano in Auckland (one of the 52 in New Zealand) to get some great scenery. It was brilliant! You can see the countryside, the beaches, the city and all of them are within a reasonable walking distance. Here everything is so near and well situated and the weather is beginning to heat up well so I have been sitting outside for meals occasioanlly but unfortunately it is not bar-be-que season yet, but I am hoping for a bar-be-que christmas dinner :-) Where children in Britain go sledging down the steepest and longest hill they can find with a proper sledge or bin liner, the children here were sldging down on cardboard down the side of the volcano. Looks great fun - shame we never brought cardboard with us.

Well I'm off to bed see ya all later.
