King for a Day
... crafts on display; I had to learn the Haka and Justine took part in, and won, a stick catching game. After about an hour, the horn sounded for dinner and I led my tribe down the hill to the Hangi pit where our dinner was being cooked underground. We then led our tribes into the sacred hall where we enjoyed traditional dancing and songs. They were fantastic and some of the songs were beautiful.

Pizzas here are really small: we took two Large and were still hungry after eating them at the hotel room. As a dessert, we eat some peanuts we bought at the supermarket, while trying to see a film at the laptop, of course "The lord of the rings I". Jet lag is stronger than us, and we hardly see half the ...
