July 13th I awoke at 8 this morning but didn't get up until 8,30. I ate a sugar coated scone for breakfast with a kiwi and banana and orange juice. I then got dressed and mother and I went out to the gym and did a work out. After exercising we did some stretches and then I ran on the treadmill for 15 mins. we then came back to our villa and had lunch. I was going to have pizza ( Hawaiian ) but I couldn't figure out how to work the oven. I had to call reception and have a guy come over to help...

July 14th I slept in again today. I didn't get out of bed until nine thirty. I ate scones in the morning with tea and a wiki & banana. We went downtown to central Rotorua for a shopping expedition as well as to look for a cheaper internet station. We parked at a parking spot that had a parking meeter. Parking is very cheep in New Zealand, unlike clothes and food XD It costs a dollar an hour. We walked around browsing the shops and then stopped at a bank. I took out some more money (sigh) ...

July 11th Today was another day on the road. Not much to report. We stopped at a bird sanctuary to try and see some wild birds but it was raining and windy so there wasn't many there. We saw one. Woot. We also saw some penguins and fishermen. Today was the first day we got lost and this was because the signs disappeared. The roads in New Zealand are very well marked, until you get to the 16 or 18 somewhere. We stopped for directions at a supper market and ate lunch in the parking lot. The man...

July 12th It was a rainy day today. I didn't get much sleep last night. I awoke every half hour like clock work and was very tired all day. I got up at noon and we ate breakfast then sat around and talked and then ate lunch around 2. I went exploring out in the rain and found the gym, restaurant, pool tennis courts, trampoline, play ground and the little corner store across the street. Then we went grocery shopping and I spent 100$ on food. I will never go shopping by myself again :p We came ...

July 15th Today I did some exercise. I also did some stretches and then I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes. It was a good workout. I could tell because my legs and arms were tired. I hadn't sweated much so there was no need for a shower. I also went through all my katas. After all of this I prepared lunch which was like craft dinner but it was fettuccine. They have one serving packets of pasta. I had bought macaroni and cheese, macaroni with cheese & bacon and one fettuccine. They turn...

July 16th Slep in again this morning, I think it's becomming a habit now but I'm going to bed at 11-12 ish so that might account for it. I had breakfast and did a crossword puzzel then did the usual morning routine and got dressed. I went in to town to get some money for ZORBing and the use the internet at an iInfo site. After retreiving some mulah I went on the internet but only to discover it's pritty useless because the computer doesn't sense it's USB ports so I couldn't post anything for ...

July 17th I did some excersize again this morning but I didn't have time to practice katas or cumatays.I packed a lunch for both mother and I and then we went into town so that I could take out some more money. Audry was looking for a bank so that she could try to transfer money from a savings account to a checkings so that she could pay off a bill , but they wouldn't let her and we haven't found a place that will as of yet. We then went to look for the Agrodome and ZORBing. Finding the road ...
