So begins my journey to New Zealand, and my first travelling trip. I was to set out alone to a country on the other side of the world, in what would hopefully be a life-changing experience for me. I still had a lot to do and to get ready though.

After the long walk of yesterday, and another sleepless night listening to snoring all night, I was feeling very tired and ached from head to toe, literally.

Tuesday 8th September 2009 – France
Well, the time has come again, I’m off for part 2 of my travels. I woke up early and packed the remaining bits before the time came for mum and dad to take me down to the ferry port.
