Napier, Hawke's Bay

Spent my 3 weeks of Annual Leave relaxing, catching up with some old camp friends and driving through some awesome panorama's.
Kelly Tarltons with the PenguinsCamp Awosting friend Karl passed though AucklandPrize Giving @ Lawn Bowls

Enjoyed a 17km tramp to the Tama Lakes as Tongoririo Crossing cancelled due to inclimate weather. An excellent time with some friends from Auckland who made the trip down to National Park for the walk.
The following week I embarked on a journey out to the east coast where I caught up with old work mate Michelle & her family in Napier. Together we toured around and visited some beautiful vineyards in the area.
......Next weekend is Easter and I have a full week off between my shifts so stay tuned for Annual Leave part 2.....

Slacking on the updates

Busy times the last month or two, with most weekends spend on the highway through Kings County down to the Central Plateau.

Now on 3 weeks of Annual Leave and trying to relax and enjoy! :D

In the past week I have Offically become a New Zealand Resident! So my work visa will now be valid for an extended length of time, as long as I want it! Horray!

Here are some photos from the past few weeks, been busy with our annual work tennis tournament, and lawn bowls every Wednesday night! Last weekend we went camping and woke up to frost on the ground... brrrrr!




With my week and a half left of holiday coming up I am headed on an adventure to Hawke's Bay which is on the east coast of the north island. Will visit with a friend and see the sights of the area :) As well as embarking on my first real physical challenge since my ankle injury back in September and hopefully weather permitting will be re-doing the Tongaririo Crossing with friends.

This time last year I was checking out the sights of the south island, glaciers, and launching off a cliff into a canyon!
