Hamilton/Taupo

Dear, dear readers We have left Hamilton after a two night stay at the sepia-tinted Crossroads Motel. Last decorated in 1973, it was a shrine to beige and all of the wonderful things you can do with that inspiring hue. Even the ducks on the shower curtain were several shades of brown. As you can see from the photo, the pool also had its own share of brown, mostly dead wildlife and other associated detritus. One small bonus - it wasn't bubbling and throwing up wet ***** like Rotorua. The hotel...

Rain or Snow?

... a flat tyre on the back left. With the help of our new friend chris he manage to change the tyre and with a shove at the back of the car and a lot of throttle Jon manage to get the car going onto the track the snow plough had made. During this time, Jon was also filmed for TVOne news! Slowly driving down the mountain he made it back to the girls school to collect jo. After our ordeal we headed into Napier and found a hostel to spend the night in.

Our trip to Ugent Care...

... dinner. It should be great! Something Mike has been looking forward to since we got here. (Yes, he is VERY hairy! I think we are both looking forward to him shaving...) We plan to try Auckland again tomorrow before heading back down south on Friday. Hope you are all tolerating the heat okay! We don't have any new photos to add as we've been laying around the condo and driving around in the rain... take care!

Taupo and my birthday!

Well it's been a while since I updated. Last time we were on the south Island working our way back north again. On the way up we stayed at a small beachtown called Kaikoura where 5 of us entered a pub quiz. We came second and won a cocktail in a teapot. Pretty good considering there were only 3 teams. Then it was straight on up to the north Island and straight back to Lake Taupo where we have decided to spend about a week rather than go ...

Adrenaline Junkies

... earth and I LOVED IT! Freddy had somersaulted us out of the plane and after we had flipped back over to face the earth below us JK was straight over filming us close up. We had a great time doing all sorts of cool moves (superman, blowing kisses, swimming etc) as we rushed towards the ground below and I was having an absolute ball when Freddy pulled the parachute and we were jerked upwards from the pull of it. It wasn't the most comfortable on the ****** area but luckily I'm not ...

Coup de coeur pour Taupo

... Mais ce ne sont pas des solides à proprement parler (même principe que le verre), car leur agrégation a été trop brusque. Voilà pour mon cher lac, il fallait absolument que vous raconte son histoire qui me fascine tant. 06/02/09: Lever à 5h pour un départ très matinal en navette direction Tongariro National Park. Puis de 7h30 à 14h, j'effectue le Tongariro Alpine Crossing, ce trek a la réputation d'être le plus beau trek d'une journ ...

Taupo Bungy Jumping

... the camera ready to snap photos. I would be lying if I said it was not a little scary inching up to the edge of the platform, 190 feet above the river, right before the bungy guy tells you to "3-2-1, Jump!" It's an amazingly long freefall as you come only feet from the river before you are hurled back up for another ...

Taking the plunge in Taupo

Next up we were off to Taupo. This is a cool little town in the middle of the north island where you can partake in lots of activities and sample the local hostileries. We met up with Trev and Neas here for the weekend and booked ourselfs a cool little house avec BBQ and garden. Myself and Murph arrived first and picked up the keys in a shop in town. When we got to the house we realised that there was a number of other houses with the same address, only diference being an ...

It's my birthweek!

... what was going on! The 40 second freefall was the most amazing (and terrifying) thing I have ever done - and the view was bloody beauitful too! After watching the others do their jumps, we got driven back to town in a limo! In celebration of our birthdays, we decided to go out tonight and I felt I'd earnt a drink - I was on a high! So after a shower to wash away the smell of rotten eggs, we went to a Mexican restaurant nextdoor and the whole group came out, which ...
