Park House Hamilton

... it was pretty marvellous and worth the entry fee for that. Eventually the boat drifted out through a tunnel entrance to the cave several hundred feet below where we had originally entered on the road above. <br><br>After some lunch in Curly's Tavern it was back on the Hwy 3 for a final push to Hamilton for the night. We'd come through Hamilton on our epic drive from Pahia to Rotorua and hadn't really liked the look of it much, being heavily built-up and industrialised ...

<br><br>Arrived in Hamilton around 4:30pm after a pretty good run up from Hawkes Bay and through Taupo! Had a lovely chat with Christine and Daniella and her friend Jennifer before Steve got home from work. Then we took Daniella and Jennifer to a BBQ and Steve, Christine and I went to their favourite Indian restaurant for dinner! It was delicious and very different to the Indian we are used to at home, but nice to have ...

... to have a good look round and then watch the Kiwis being fed at 4pm. We then tried desperately hard to feed ourselves ice cream, eventually ending up at a McCafe as by then it was five-ish and everything was shutting down. The weather was still brilliantly warm and sunny, and we were all very pleased with ourselves for having had such an enjoyable afternoon! Here's a joke (apologies in advance as I don't tell them very well): a road ...

... making the set, one particular thing, is that the Tree on top of Bilbo Baggins house (Bagend) which you see in the 1st movie for the whole of about 20 seconds was chopped down in Wellington and and cut up into pieces, flown to Mattamatta where the farm is joined back together by blots and screws and leaves were flown in from Taiwan and stiched onto the tree all because Mr. Jackson thought that he looked really cool. Can you believe that, and thats only ...

... yourself into other people's lives in hopes of creating a bond between you. I have made friends here but they're only skin deep and as I start preparing to leave this city, I feel a bit relieved that I can just give up. It was like I was pushing a boulder uphill and now I can just step out of the way and let it roll back down. That isn't to say I got nothing out of the people I've met/worked with, not in the least. I've spent the last few months being a Human observer. I've ...

... the most reserved Catholic Church I could and I was going to take her there with me. Haha. Payback. The moral of this story? It was certainly an interesting experience. I was glad I pushed myself to go and see that there are people who can be joyous and enthusiastic while worshipping 'God'. The look on Toby's face while he was preaching and his energy really stuck with me. Yes, it was a bit intense and no, it isn't my thing (I much prefer the Calm in Asia, thanks) but there were ...

Off for the day to watch the highest level of national rugby (like the NHL in North American ice hockey). The Super 14 teams are 14 teams that come from NZ, Australia and South Africa. http://www.super14.com/teams/default.as p Tonight's game was the Waikato Chiefs vs. the ...

... who were on other flights from Shanghai so had to hang around the airport for another 2 hours. It was still pitch black when I first got there, but once the other guys arrived the sun was out and you could finally see outside. The drive from Auckland to Hamilton consisted of cows, hills, more cows, and occasional sheep. Tom told me that there was a drought and that was why a lot of the hills which are normally bright green had turned that ugly brownish color. We ...

Ruapehulle kiipeäminen 20.2.2008 Mailista Jaakolle: Tänään käytiin kävelemässä yhden suht aktiivisen tulivuoren huipulle. Köysihissillä 2100 metriin, sieltä 600 metriä ylös kävelemällä. Oli aika huimaa näkymää, todellakin kuun näkymät. Syyskuussa kraatterij ...
