I have a serious blog in the making, in the mean time …<\/p>\n

20<\/strong> – No matter where in the world you go, Irish bars are always a good idea<\/p>\n

19<\/strong> – No matter how much calming oil I sniff, or slow breathing I do, weird noises and abrupt commands over a P.A system on a plane, freak me the fuck out.<\/p>\n

18<\/strong> – Even at almost 41 the New Zealand accent just sounds like someone who needs a decent speechie. Though after working out that “chicken” was “check in”, it was a constant source of amusement. Bec and Jazz becomes Bic and Jizz….what’s not to love about having the nickname ‘Jizz’!?<\/p>\n

17<\/strong> – You can gain weight on a walking\/hiking holiday. Not just a little but enough that your pants no longer fit. Whoops.<\/p>\n

16<\/strong> – Women’s bodies are amazing. All of them. Yes even yours.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

15<\/strong> – Tattooists will roll their eyes when you ask for a fern tattoo, even though you feel like you’re the first person on the planet to revel in their beauty when hiking.<\/p>\n

14<\/strong> – Friendships can be built on the simple fact that you don’t annoy each other. haha! Obviously a lot more, but it’s a perfect start.<\/p>\n

13<\/strong> – You can ruin a lifetime of vegetarianism quickly and easily, no I didn’t eat the venison.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12<\/strong> – The word ‘bike’ yelled out on a hiking track can haunt you in your dreams.<\/p>\n

11<\/strong> – The quietest people often have the most fascinating lives.<\/p>\n

10<\/strong> – made up card games can be fun, or was it the long island ice tea?<\/p>\n

9<\/strong> – Sometimes nature is so beautiful it takes your breath away. It’s hard to capture the beauty with a phone camera, also hard to take a bad shot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> – The added hike to a lookout is absolutely worth it. Even if you feel like you might die.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> – Eat the seafood. It’s delicious.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> – I always thought red and white mushrooms looked magical in photos, now I know they are. \u00a0I’m pretty sure I saw a fairy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> – After 11 days away from my husband, unattractive men start looking pretty good. Did I just write that? haha, sorry honey.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> – At some point you will wish you were home with your boring routines and simple food. Then in the next minute have the best time of your life.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> – coffee, great coffee is like great sex, addictive and delicious.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> – Seeing a Mum cry talking to her babies on the phone, \u00a0is equally beautiful as it is heartbreaking, no matter their ages.<\/p>\n

1<\/strong> – Seeing someone play the tambourine with passion and Joy is absolutely wonderful and so hilarious. Thanks for the memories, it might be my next hobby.<\/p>\n

Much Love,<\/p>\n
