Palmerston North, New Zealand

Final Post, Final Thoughts

Final post, final thoughts I am back in New Zealand. I was met, tired and bewildered, at Auckland Airport by my father. Mercifully he used his frequent flyer privileges to get my entire 40kg luggage home. He then took me to the FF lounge where I had a New Zealand breakfast of unsweetened...

Another ‘PANIC!’ post

Well, thanks to the accommodation people, I have nowhere to live, and thanks to my father the combined churches of Berkeley think I have no grammar. Dad decided that he would ‘help’ me try to find a billet by sending an email out to the Episcopalian churches in the Berkeley area. Obviously...

Start up hassels

A friend of mine went on a trip to England last year and blogged that. My mother is heading to Europe and is blogging her trip as well. Apart from the fact my writing style is boring and I’ll probably forget my password, why shouldn’t I blog too? This is just the ‘filler’ post I suppose. I...

Windy Miller

Jenbolina (and broken toe)

May 27 We drove the quick 200 km to Palmerston North at break neck campervan speed. Jen met us outside her flat, waving her Crutches madly in the air, due to her newly broken left big toe (from hockey last week). We spent a pleasant evening at Jens new home with a couple of her mates, a...
