Almost finished sorting photos from NZ, this one is my favorite, taken just off state highway 1 on the Tukino Skifield road. Here is the same photo in VR made with free tools so don't judge the quality, look at 2880x900 or in full 14793x4500 (+10mb).

I'm still jetlagged, I write this at 4am as I've just woken up, but have almost readjusted to not summer.

I think I might go to France.

Michelle and I at the Winter Wonderland in Hyde park. I'm looking slightly retarded. We went skating for about an hour and even thou it was on rented skates and on a wee rink, I had a great time. I miss hockey.

New Zealand next week, staying for an extra 10 days now, so maybe I will see you soon _______?

Sun setting at 3pm now, I can't wait for Summer!

Taken at the entrance to the port of Cartagena, there were battlements all around the rocks, sadly it was all fenced off and I couldn't get any closer. We took lunch at Mares Bravas where we had fresh prawns, fried baby octopus, grilled swordfish, and I took this photo. So nice . .

So I have just discovered that I have to take a holiday before the end of June for 9 days or else I will lose them, so I have been thinking about getting to Cornwall and check out the surf. I've had a quick look for boaters/boats on the net, but have had little success. If I could rent a nice boat that would be sweet, but finding one to borrow that would be even better if you know anyone. . . big if.

Also considering a return to Amsterdam now that's its a bit warmer, find a small place to rent for a week and chill out, explore for real this time, get out of the city etc.

Home/work life has been much better, started propagating tomatoes, chillies and herbs for the garden, got a desk, found a bike which I'm doing up, too bad the ocean is a long ride away :(

I have a lot of plans and ideas happening at the moment, and all are very dependent on timing, but really I think it will all turn out ok. I have had issues with my inability to start something concrete before I get too old, but I realize that it doesn't mean shit if I think I have wasted my time/youth doing something that doesn't pan out. I think that's why this job has been tough because I resent the fact that I am here just to save money rather than to learn and experience new things.

Things will always be changing, I will have a new kayak, I will be closer to the ocean, I will be somewhere else next year, and I will succeed. Of Course :P Canada by the end of the year? Maybe. . . Let see how the west coast pans out, maybe an exploration of Scotland is in order soon too.

Anyone heard of hitchhiking in the UK? I'll give it a go if its not impossible. . . .
