Although the title of this post is completely factual it is maybe a little misleading so let me explain. At the moment I am in the City of Dunedin which is the furthest point away from the UK that I can get while on land.

Today I took a walk with one of my new room mates to get our bearings and try and find the beach. After about 45 mins of walking we finally found it and spent a while chilled out there on the beach chatting and contemplating life. That beach is technically the furthest point from home I will Best office everever get and so it was a quite profound moment to realise that every step further towards the sea we took was the furthest we had ever been and would also be the furthest we would ever go.

As I stood at the waters edge with the freezing water of the Southern Ocean hitting my feet I accomplished one of my goals for life. I have finally been as far as I can possibly get, something that I didn’t really thing I would ever get around to accomplishing when I was back at home, dreaming of travelling. What this means now is that every step I take is another step closer to home, no matter were I really go. I cant guarantee when I will be home or what route I will take to get there but what I can say is that I am now slowly on my way, no matter how long it takes.

It was quite strange to randomly find it, however it was quite pretty so worth taking a few pics of it.

Tomorrow I plan to spend the day in the library and treat it like a working day to try and get a handle on what I am doing, where I am heading and what I want to see and do along the way. Sounds like a dull thing to do while on holiday, however as Padd rightly points out “the real world catches you eventually!”

…In other news I also found a new rock….

  1. Come home the longest way the money you have can take you dude. Can tell your enjoying it and I’d hate to see you back at work telling me all about all the fun you had. Come home knowing there’s nothing left you wanted to do. Plus if you need someone to rent one of your rooms at your old house then holla haha.

  2. Oh dont you worry, I will not be returning until all the money is gone and they are kicking me out of the country 😛 but when I do come back I will be straight at BJJ rubbing it in your face at all the cool stuff ive been doing!
