Just Upgraded

Just upgraded to latest WordPress and am working through the differences and incompatibilities (some characters in old posts don’t appear correctly). What prompted this change was wanting to use the latest spam blocker plugin against all the rubbish I was receiving.

Back to the Real World, London, England

My endless summer has finally come to an end with my first day back at work today! Lots to sort out and get used to. After a full year of travel even home feels strange. I’ll put up more videos on the site when I have a chance.

An intensely interesting and amazing experience!

Happy in a cave, New Zealand part two

You can be happy in many places, why not try a cave? Here’s a rare photo of me in the Haggas cave, part of the Waitomo region in the North Island. It is genuinely a lot of fun, one of many adventure activities you can try in New Zealand.

From Bolivia to New Zealand I jumped across a great ocean, eight time zones, had an eggs Benedict breakfast in a posh cafe

and there was still time to stroll up the Rangitoto volcano a short ferry ride from Auckland.

I am not really a surfer dude but sliding down a sand dune is better than just walking back down. Here’s the sandboarding VIDEO from Cape Reinga the northern tip of New Zealand. To reach this place you drive along the 90 mile beach (in reality about 65 miles) and up sandy streams.
