Back in action!!!

So I have been away from the blog for a while now!! I had a bit of a rough end to the season on the ice and it took a bit out of me!! It was a good life lesson and taught me to be even more patient then I already am!!

Well the season was a success and I have a contract for the next season already!! So time for fun!! The time off has started quite good! I went with two mates from the ice to Queenstown, being that we get in New Zealand it is pretty easy to play around the area for a bit before heading out to wherever!! So I went with 3 mates to go climbing in Queenstown and Wanaka! We had an awesome time doin all the climbs and the scenery in that area is outragouesly beautiful!!!! I got to cook for the first time in 6 months, which was great, even though it was camping food it turned out to be pretty darn good! The next place I head to was Auckland to visit my ol' roomie from college, Tom and his new wife Tracy!! I got to go mountain biking and went to the beach, nice and peaceful!! Then I just arrived in Australia!!

I am staying with some friends,Mike and Stacey, I met last year at the Blues Fest here! I am at their cool house in Wollongong! Last night I went with Mike to a meat raffle? I know sounds crazy right well I basically, it is exactly as it sounds!! They raffle off meat while people just enjoy themselves over a pint of beer or glass of wine, just a normal friday evening event!! Nuts right! Crazy Aussie's!!! Anyway, I leave on monday for Sydney and start 10 days of fun with friend from the ice!! well I am at a computer that does not work with my new camera!! I have a new toy, really cool pics so far!!But the pics will follow when I figure this thing out! Till the next time!
