At Karekare there was a movie being filmed. The movie name is Tracker and I've checked IMDB there's not a whole bunch of information about it yet but it does have a guy from starwars in it, but he wasn't filming today. Anyway they were blocking the trail to the beach so first we explored a waterfall, I found my new homestead which I intend to invade and take over, then change my name to Robinson (see picture), and finally we ...

... surreal enormity of the building is emphasised by the sight of the mad blue and yellow jump suited people throwing themselves at you, screaming, from the top.

It was a little crowded inside as some rugby team or other was being besieged by mobs wanting their autograph (ok, ok there was an orderly queue but it felt like mobs) but I pushed my way through the crowd and found the tourist information centre. Armed with a load of info and a lot to think about I then took a trip up to ...

... that in 2 weeks he has Ewan Mcgregor and Charlie Bullman coming out together again to go fishing with him for a few days! The funny part was when he showed us his garage which had beds in and said that this is where they were going to sleep when they came over. Wouldnt have thought someone like them would stay there! Anyways we were given our cray fish which were killed humanly by drowning...cant quite work that part out? apparently fresh water kills them and drowns them and take about 20 ...

... Gym. I mainly workout on the cardio machines, but they have a limited amount, and you are only allowed 20 minutes per machine. On-the-other-hand, the weight-lifting part of the gym is huge! So, Robert enjoys going, of course.
I wish I had about a month more of break left, but school has started here and I'm forcing myself to get back into the swing of things. Anyways, I'm off to my Maori class! Hope all is great back at home! Love y'all!

... Island.

After a ridiculously long bus ride of 8 hours from Cambridge (New Zealand doesn't have a freeway system) I arrived in the evening in Wellington. Spent the night in a "party" hostel, and though I am aware of that part of the experience, I don't tolerate slobs that have been living in the hostel for weeks on end. These "hostel people" just seem to live there and sit around the hostel, go out to drink, make pasta ...

... dry sense of humour and when greg asked him how many times he had done the jump he replied ´never, too dangerous.... why would i do that?´. The canyon swing involves putting on a harness and jumping off a cliff, where you are met with a 60m freefall before swinging through the canyon for a further 200m before being brought back up. There are various different way to jump from the platform, which are given a ´scary rating´ with a number of pants. When asked how i ...

... Island, but not before we did, what we decided afterwards, was the best short walk to date. It was just outside Waitomo and took us through forest, along a river, past waterfalls and to some caves, it was beautiful. Taupo was a hive of activity when we arrived, due to the annual round the lake bike challenge. It's 160k, with lots of climbs along the way and there were 10,000 participants this year. We did not take part, but enjoyed the spectacle and watching them finish, from the ...

... in the states. Anyway, we made it into Auckland, checked into the hostel, then headed out to see some of the city. And I gotta say, after seeing Sydney, there wasnt a whole lot to see. Auckland was nice and all, but just lacking in the sight department. Oh well. At least NZ beer is good. And generally cheap, like $5 for a pint (thats like $2.50 US at the moment, gotta love the exchange rate!). So we had a few beers around town.

... dia no existeix. Per canvis d' horaris... No dormo gaire durant el viatge. No hi ha gaire espai entre un seient i l'altre. Sortosament hi ha una pantalleta amb jocs i també pots veure pel.lícules... estarem entretingudes les 13h de vol. Dijous XXIX - I - MMIX Arribarem a l'aeroport d'Auckland aproximadament a les 3.45am del 29/01/2009. Passarem els diversos controls, sort que hem deixat el poc menjar que duiem a l'avió... :) Ens ...

... but there was no sign of the bearded one from Sheffield though. Maybe he travels on a private jet. I was tempted to swap my guitar for one of their vintage Gibsons at the baggage claim LA airport was a dump and had extremely unfriendly staff - Millie heard one of them tell a passenger off for sneezing and not covering his mouth. It was great by ...
