I am currently on the other side of the world. Earlier this week I attended the 5th Event Research Conference in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. On my way to Australia, I stopped in Singapore for 36h. This was quite an interesting experience. Singapore is worth visiting. I am now in New Zealand. I will spend the night in Wellington, before travelling to Palmerston North (visit a friend) and then to Rotorua. It is quite cold in NZ. The sky was clear and on my way from Auckland to Wellington the plane went through an old volcano covered in snow. The view was amazing and I regret not having my camera at hand to take pictures. This was a taster of what NZ has to offer... so I am looking forward to see more beautiful spots. As I am writting this post from an Internet cafe in Wellington, the background music just started playing a Portuguese song!!! Marisa is the singer's name and she sings fado. A little weird...
Next week I will be travelling to one of the (paradisiac) south pacific islands for a holiday - I will tell you later which one! I will then come back to Auckland, where I will be talking at the New Zealand Travel Research Institute, as well as visiting Auckland University of Technology. Then it is time to fly back to the UK...
I already have lots of pictures and stories to tell, but I don't think I will be able to post them before arriving in the UK at the end of the month (but I will try...). Stay tuned!
