Yet another exciting chapter of my
life has begun. October 31st 2012 I arrived in Auckland, New
Zealand. I was met by a friend and fellow traveler, Daniel, I had met two years
ago on my excursion through Thailand. He excelled the position of a tour guide
as we drove the 2 hours North to Whangarei where I stayed with him for the next
couple days. That weekend we headed back down to Auckland where I was lucky enough
to sit in on the somewhat eventful 4x4 portion of a forestry course Dan was
taking with two other co-workers. Let’s just say I’ve never seen a man so very
calm sitting in a truck with so few wheels on the ground as a team of safety
patrol were dispatched. From there we spent the night in Auckland, where I met
the rest of the team Dan works with. Sunday we said our goodbyes as Dan went
back to Whangarei and I hopped on a bus destined for Waihi – a little town with
a big history of gold mining located at the base of the Coromandel Region.
After 2 days of exploring the mines I was off on another bus stopping in
Tauranga, a beautiful ocean side town which I explored for a couple days on my
own before meeting back up with Dan and meeting his family all together to
celebrate the marriage of Dan’s cousin Isaac and his beautiful bride, Ana.
Congratulations!
