... der uns sein Auto schmackhaft machen wollte. Es klang alles sehr plausibel und er machte einen netten Eindruck. Also machten wir eine Probefahrt. Basti inspizierte das Auto nochmal von allen Seiten, kroch auch da unter, hatte sogar Blickkontakt mit dem Auspuff. Der Verkaeufer erzaehlte uns eine Menge ueber das Auto - leider verstanden wir nicht alles (wahrscheinlich koennten wir nichtmal mit all den Begriffen auf deutsch etwas anfangen) aber wir versuchten ...

... SoCal stylings of SD had buffered us from reverse culture-shock there, well there was no escping it here: the weather was cold, grey and dull, they drive on the left, and the route from the airport took us past housing estates and other scenery that might as well have been lifted straight out of Ireland - even the road marking are the same as d'auld sod. The only real difference between arriving here and arriving home ...

... anyways). The next day was Dunedin. Not much to say about this place. Found it incredibly boring in this town and decided to have a lazy day so me Rhys and the gang watched several films from like 3pm to half 10 in evening so was nice just to chill out and spend no money!

The day after Dunedin we went to the stunning small village of Lake Tekapo. The views from outside our hostel which was located within feet of the lakes edge was absoloutely spectacular. For miles all we could see ...

... headed uphill at first to a little shopping district and then came back through the main city centre toward the One Tree Hill park that housed the museum. A full days walk allowed for just an hour here though that was all that was needed to see the War Memorial wing. Thankfully, a cab was waiting just down the hill to take us back for a much needed rest before dinner.

... riding from one side of the world to the other? We stopped just outside Warkworth for some posey photo's with the town sign, then rolled down the hill, past my old college, a single victory lap through town & into the Bridge House where a bunch of mates, including mum & dad were waiting for me. I head inside to buy a celebratory bottle of Champers. The hot young bar-maid asking "Did you just win a race or something"? "No" I replied, "I've just been on a really long ride ...

Early the next morning, the magic bus took me - via a Kiwi (NZs bird where Kiwis get their name from) sanctuary and a tour of the North Island Tiu brewery where our pints cost a whopping 20p! - up to Napier, new zealands Art Deco city. Spent the remainder of the day exploring the city's fabulous art deco architecture & strolling along its beach. A ...

Have no idea what or how to teach over here which is a slight problem though! Not done any ...

... vibrant daughter and daughter's friend. Throw in a few neighbors going through some dramatic family events and wine to the brim, gifts, and a large Victorian throne like chair where sat Santa Clause (who was anyone who happened to be wearing the hat at any given time!) and a party was to be had!

Chris had been so generous to me that I wanted to mark the occasion with something special for him. So in secret I enlisted each of the guests to come ...

Work still didn't knock on my front door and money was, well gone. Being a high roller in the Americas hits you in the pocket big time.
