Black Belt!

On Saturday I graded for my black belt in Kenpo Karate.

Guess what, I got it!

The best Kenpo artist in the world was there as well as black belts from Australia and around New Zealand.

The grading took 3 hours. I have been doing Kenpo for 6 years.

So now I've made the first step to becoming an adult black belt, well so GL would say.

My 2008 South Island Trip!

This is a photo of Mt Cook looking out over Lake Matheson (the quality of photos on blogger aren't that good).

On the last Friday in Term 3 I set off with my family on a trip all around the South Island.

We stayed 15 nights in 12 different places.

We spent 67 hours and 49 minutes travelling in the car.

We did 4651 kilometres.
