The first day of my new commute I thought I'd take some pictures of my route to work....

So then I was all alone in Sydney! We'd been to check out a house in Manly the day before and luckily the guy rung back to say I could have it. So I was living in one of the houses on the left of this photo looking over the beach... a very nice place to live!

Our last night in Sydney we had a day after we got back from NZL before Charlotte headed to San Fran so we headed off to grab a meal in the harbour by the Opera House.

Mini golf! I'd been meaning to play some golf as I think its the number one pasttime in New Zealand and we found this course in Hamner Spring - I got round in 8 over par which was enough to take home the trophy.

We drove back to Christchurch via Hamner Springs but didn't go to the spring this time we headed up a mountain in search of this waterfall which was a nice walk.

The inside of our moving home at night. After a hard days walking / driving I think this was probably me giving Charlotte another thrashing at Crib... This picture was to show how the van could look like with the seats and table out which I think we only managed to get organised the once!

That night in punakaiki had been a massive storm which rocked our campervan all over the place as we were staying on the cliffs. We went for a walk along the river the next day and the path was full of fallen trees and debris. This is Charlotte just putting one of the boulders back in its proper place.
