Everyday is a new adventure

Tall one and Small one met in New Zealand, in the kiwi fruit orchards of Tauranga back in early 2009. From there spent 2 years travelling across Australia together; penniless in Sydney, 15 hour shifts in a Blue Mountains Hotel, picking Blueberries with spiders in Coff's Harbour – watermelons with snakes in Charters Towers, pushing their campervan, 'Tony' through the flood waters of Miriam Vale, breaking down in every state through the outback, and working and drinking side by side in an Irish Pub and Backpackers in Melbourne.

Across the globe through Vietnam, Thailand & Moscow before spending a year in Canada; through the seasons in Toronto, 35 hour Greyhound buses across the provinces, dog sledding in the Rocky Mountains, shovelling 3 foot snow in the Yukon, Kayaking in Haida Gwaii, sharing a beer among the icebergs of Newfoundland and spotting whales in Nova Scotia.

Before returning to New Zealand in Oct 2012 to live the beach life in Mount Maunganui, experience the earthquakes of Wellington and finally getting married on Te Ahumairangi Hill, Wellington in Oct 2013. Finally on 2nd Oct 2013 they embarked on an 80 day honeymoon back across the globe, through the south island of New Zealand, up to Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and finally through north India before returning to Ireland, where they are now attempting to make a home in Galway. Many miles travelled together, many sights shared together, everyday is the start of a new adventure.

Week 7 of the Kiwi world!

All is well here in Tauranga. Its our 7th week here. Madness how time goes by so fast. We are still working away and picking season has now started so we are making some big bucks picking Kiwis. I bought a car on Paddy's day. A 1990 Nissan. Only cost $1,400 (E600). He runs very well. I've called him Hoopy. Anyone know why? Now before you all ask...yes I have insurance, its just a driving licence I don't have. As Billy Loughnane always said to me.."Your not breaking the law unless you get caught" Very wise man that Billy. We went up to Auckland last weekend to watch Ireland win the 6 nations. What a weekend we had. It would not of felt the same had we of lost to Wales, thank God for the win. Shaun and Chris playing for the local Tauranga football team.
