Its been an eventful time over the last week. Starting with a great family Christmas, delicious stomach filling food, plenty of gifts, the traditional family water fight, and a little family concert. The following days were occupied but three days of painstaking tramping in the Goblin Forest. Beginning with 4 hours the days got longer and harder. Day 2 consisted of 8 hours of continuous up and down tramping. The next and last day took us onto 5 hours of extremely steep, unmarked tramping. Now don't get me wrong the Goblin forest was very cool. The trees were amazing and once we made it to the top it was a very cool view. However the pain was of another kind. The department of Conservation was not lying when they said that the tramp was for experienced and fit trampers. lol. But we did it and we are now experienced and fit trampers. HAHA! lol. New Years took me to Mount Maunganui for some loud music and extremely hot weather. A very busy lively place with lots of goings on.
Its hard to believe a year has past. It felt like yesterday I was updating my blog in New York City.
Home(Hamilton) is now where I lie in preparation for my next adventures. Recovery is defiantly needed after the last week. I feel movies, books and are in order for the next few days.
Life is still very much a holiday and I'm in bracing it while it lasts, before I start University and re begin my life again.
Happy New Year!
Exciting times lie ahead.
