After nearly 2 months away I arrived back home today. The flight was fairly uneventful and unlike my flight out I sat next to nice people. From Auckland to Los Angeles I sat next to an ex-US Marine and from LA to London I sat next to a girl returning from her travels.
The flight was a long one and surprisingly I don’t have jet lag which is a bonus. I was greeted in Oxford by my mum and I have seen most of my family already today and will be seeing the rest on Wednesday.
I have just been looking through the photos and videos I have from my trip and there are hundreds. They will be on the website in the coming days after I have sorted things like my car etc (it hasn’t been moved for 2 months)!
Check back soon and the pictures and videos might be on here!

When we arrived in Auckland we went out for something to eat and also a drink before heading back to our hostels
