Been back home

for 2 weeks now and I apologize for the lack of posts. I have been pretty busy getting back into the swing of things and to be honest, been far to side tracked and not amped. I have been doing lots of things over the past 2 weeks and I am loving being home. Im back home...with my girlfriend, friends, family, cold water, shark stories, oily surfs, onshore winds etc etc etc. I got back home after a looooong series of flights and was greeted by my girlfriend, mother and her boyfriend and it was so good to see them all. I got back to my house and my girlfriend and mother teamed up and had revamped my room - double bed nogal! My girlfriend sneakily took one of my water shots of Keiki and blew it up an hung it on my wall. Soooo stoked! Makes me even more amped on photography! Anyway, im over this for now, I have 4 photos I would like to share with you all from my flight back in which I witnessed the sunset and sunrise all on one flight. The internet in South Africa is slow, well at my house it is! I am only loading 4 photos and it took me 15mins just to get the download started. And now I am finished writing and they still aren't loaded.

2 down 2 2 go

Almost confusing yet so simple. Im half way through my flights, I've done my first 2 legs and now I am sitting at the biggest Airport (or something like that) in the states. Its funny though, cause so far its the only Airport that I've had to pay for Wi-fi (barring SA). Anyway, next up I have a 15 hour flight to get me to Joburg, followed by another 2 hour flight. Then I shall be greeted by my mother and girlfriend. I can't wait. I want to get there now! But patience is a virtue. Here is a photo that makes me miss home so much. This is a photo of my favourite person and my favourite place in the whole world! Its also one of my favourite photo's I have taken.

Time has come

I have been very unamped to do any blog posts over the past couple of days, I have just been relaxing and taking everything in before I leave. I can tell you this though, My last night on the North Shore was spent enjoying bottomless tacos and salsa with a massive borrito with Ade, Blazza, Dallas and myself, was pretty epic. I then moved from the North Shore to a new friend, Leanne, and her family. They have been extremely welcoming and I cannot thank Leanne enough. We went to Wet 'n Wild, a waterpark, for her son's birthday and it was suck fun. Felt like a lil boy again haha. Today(my last day of my first Hawaiian season) was a pretty breathtaking day, in more ways than one. We did a hike called Hawaii Loa Ridge and the last part is insanely steep which took it out of me, but once I was up there it was amazing! I could see 2 of the other islands, Maui and Molokai, and I could pretty much get a panoramic view of the whole of Oahu. It was amazing. What a day to end my trip!

I am now sitting on my bed, bags packed and officially ready to get home! Bring on the steel jets and the next 48 hours of travel!

No images for now, not amped haha. Will do a photo diary of my trip once I am home and settled. BUT for now, have a look at these cool things...
