A Bit of Back-tracking

Alrighty, trying to get the hang of this whole blogging thing. I realize that I only ever read blogs that are updated consistently. Must. Update. Consistently.

Although I have now been in Wellington for over 3 weeks (what?!) I decided to back-track a bit for this post and throw up a few pictures from my 22 hours in Beijing, 2 weeks in Australia, and 10 days in the South Island.

I had such an amazing month of travel! I went from -17 degrees (Celsius that is, sounds more dramatic that way) in Beijing...



To a whopping 43 degrees Celsius (109 F) in Oz! I have been to this Land of Oz before, so beautiful! I got to revisit a few places I had been and also hang with my awesome friend Lucy (and her amazingly cute dog, Dexter) who I met in Croatia this past summer!



Then I was off to New Zealand! I spent a day in Wellington while I waited for my awesome Aussie friends, Karen and Alex to pick me up in our rent-a-car.

And to back-track a bit more, I randomly met Karen and Alex during a crazy night out in Greece this past September...



Then randomly bumped into them in Barcelona two weeks later! What a small world it is.



To finish off their 7 month trip around the world, Karen and Alex headed to New Zealand for their last 3 weeks before heading back to their home in Oz. We had kept in touch since our Holiday in Spain and planned to do a road trip of the South Island once they arrived in NZ.

Amazing. We did everything from wine tasting to jet-boating and saw the beach, glaciers, and a rain forest all within a 30 minute drive of each other.



Ah. I love traveling.
