So this is my last post from my travels around New Zealand. Met loads of awesome people and saw some incredible places. I hope you enjoyed my posts from my trip and keep you eye out for more posts from all the portrait shoots i have lined up!

Coming to the end of my travels now. After surfing Taranaki I went up to Raglan to search for more waves. Bad decision. There was no swell. Although the people were awesome and always up for a laugh. Stayed there for 4 nights before heading back up to Whangarei where I am going to surf the East coast for a few days before heading down to Auckland to catch my flight. Sad times, I really don't want to leave.

Not many photographs this week. Been surfing most days and my camera isn't waterproof! Some awesome surf and met some awesome people. Starting to go back up north now as now much longer before my flight home! Going to miss the heat and much more.

My travels down the south of the north island. By how I have lots of time to chill. I have booked Black water rafting for the 23, and apart from going to wellington and up the west coast. I can chill. Read lots of my book and in need of a new one soon as been reading so much. Very hot weather and sea temperature not too bad. More photos uploading tomorrow but as I had internet I thought I would leave you with a few to look at till then!

I climbed Mt NGURUHOE, otherwise known as Mount Doom off Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings. The Volcano Is 2287m high and is covered with very sharp slippery rocks. I feel sorry for Frodo. I met some awesome people on my walk towards the Volcano. Who I climbed up with and later shared a beer with at the end.

This Mountain I met a few people at the bottom who were planning on climbing it. Turnes out it was not the mountain we were planning on climbing but we did so anyway. We found out that there was a 2km Exclusion zone as they think it might go boom. But when You get that far up a mountain you can't just turn back... We carried onto the top, it was such an amazing view! and we are still alive today so it was worth it!

I went to look around a thermal village. It was very interesting how some Maori still live in there today. Some even bath and cook how they used to thousands of years ago. It was great actually being able to talk to some Maori.

Another bunch of photographs from my trip around new zealand. All going well but a bit worries as camera charger is broken and only 2 batteries left... Going to have to search around for a new charger! Still alive even though a tsunami hit new Zealand last night. As i pulled up at the beach it was saying on the radio how people were being moved to higher ground and to stay away from the beaches... but the surf looked too good :P

Been all over the place. Left Cape Reinga and went down south through Waipoua Forest where we went and saw the worlds biggest Kauri Trees, Massive! 51.5m high and a trunk girth of 13.8m. Some have been around for over 2000 years! We also visited some amazing black sand beaches. I had no shoes on and was burning my feet it was that hot. See me running to the water in need of cooling down my feet. Most of the photos speak for themselves... Enjoy :)

Been spending a lot of time driving, seen some amazing views, been on some amazing tracks, stayed at some awesome free Campsites. Been bitten alive by mosquitos (it looks as if I have some deadly skin desease :P) Drunk lots of warm beer and cold red wine. Result of all this. AMAZING EXPERIENCE SO FAR!!!
