The great spaghetti hoop discovery
Hitchiked down to Christchurch with Nikora, got picked up in 15 mins by a skinny white 19 year old with a big beard who likes soft rock and studies Geology with Biology and is going to Australia to see his favourite band 6 days in a row. Fun. Immediatly went too maccas (aka Mcdonalds), as we were starved, and met Babe, Nikoras oldest sister. Walked around the shops for a bit and then went back to ...
My Kiwi Adventure Part I
... So I had to have the 20yo who can’t buy beer in America, buy my drink because she had her passport.

Därpå lämnade vi djur och natur i The Catlins och drog oss vidare mot staden Dunedin. Det tog ...
The Final Countdown
... freedom camping, its neighbouring district warmly embraces it, so we spent the night in the car park of a working men's club right in the centre of a town called Kaiapoi. The next day we'd planned to visit the wildlife centre again to show Sarah and Jowley a kiwi, and go on a walking tour of Christchurch.
