Guys: Thanks!
Me: So Gary, how do you like NZ so far?
Gary: Im tired...
Me: Why are you tired?
Gary: Well we woke up this morning at six to begin a seven hour hike through Tongariro National Park. Also, I've been carrying too much luggage throughout the trip because I wanted to look fashionable on the trail...
Me: Understandably so...
Gary: And so that's been weighing me down a bit.
Me: Were you at all surprised about how great my fitness was on the hike today?
Gary: No, not at all, I mean, we all know you're a natural athlete... 10 days of straight drinking in Australia couldn't hope to slow you down.
Me: Very true, my friend, very true. Next time I should proabably make it a full two weeks. Ryan, how about you, how are you liking the trip so far...
Ryan: I want to play laser tag... and you owe me an ice cream for beating you down the trail today.
Well there you have it folks, our first few days in NZ under wraps, and already a blast. Btw, even though Ryan is ten, he only narrowly beat me by a few steps. But right now we have some celebratory drinks and plan our next few steps before someone allows us to pick up a sailboat and cruise it around the Bay of Islands (self explanatory) starting on the 17th to the 23rd.
Peace out, y'all
