Last weekend I bought my tickets to leave Auckland and two weeks later New Zealand.
On Friday 12th I’m finishing my work with Results and on Saturday morning I’m flying to Christchurch, which is a city in the middle of the south island on the east cost. I’m going to stay until Monday, when I have a ticket to take the Trans Scenic, a train which goes from Christchurch to Picton, which is a town in the north of the south island, called Tasman bay region. In Tasman bay I’ve planned to do a 3 days tramping (it is how kiwis refer to hiking) and one of the most famous ocean kayaking circuits in the world. Later I’m going to start going south, all around the west cost, spending couple days at Mount Cook and Milford Sound. Mount Cook is the highest mountain in NZ, and if the weather conditions allow it, I’d love to try to climb it.
I have no idea how I’m going to travel all around the south island during the two weeks, except for the train from Christchurch to Picton, but I really don’t care a lot about it and I think hitchhiking is going to be a good index to see how nice people traveling in NZ is J.
On the 28th of March I’m flying from Christchurch to Sydney and the day after, I’m flying to US where I’m going to stay for 3 weeks. In US I’m meeting with one of my brothers, Santi, and his girlfriend, May, meanwhile we all spend gorgeous time with little Benja. I know all of these is going to let me recharge my batteries for the second part of chapter 25!
After US I’m flying to Cairns, north of Australia, where I’m going to try to find a boat to go to Papua New Guinea, until Cairns is where my plans go for the moment. Later I only know the time that I have to travel and that I’ll really want to see Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar (maybe), Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Taiwan and Japan. Choosing one of those destinies to volunteer at a local non-profit organization.
I don’t have any contact, even friend of friends of friends from Indonesia, Myanmar or Laos so if you have any email or contact to share with, it is going to be more than welcome.
There is a lot coming the following months and it is going to be completely different from the past seven. I’m really looking forward to starting with it!
