So we're heading off today on a run around the coromandel. mission to get bags packed (they still need to be lighter!) (think i will get front paniers too!!) but done now & off to catch the 10.30 ferry out to half-moon bay & hopefully to miranda hot pools tonite where we meet another friend from uni. feeling a little nervous!! excited that this is actually happening! will try & throw a few pics up on the other site before we go. have fun in japan/ canada/ nz. xx
