NZ: Alli and James' Wedding and the Bay of Islands

Yippee - another trip to NZ! This one was slightly extended due to my job contract ending coinciding with a previously booked trip for the Everist wedding, so I was lucky enough to be able to join in the frivolities of the Patterson nuptials, and surprise a few of my favourite people too :)

My 30th birthday was spent crossing timezones somewhere above Asia, but luckily I was able to celebrate with F&Cs and Gin & Tonics the following day with Kelley, Fraser and Jenny in our little caravan in Paihea. Yay!
