Well so far we have -
Met a Kiwi (bird as opposed to people)
lazed in the sun
Bathed in sulpherous and smelly water
Got sunburnt (of course)
camped in some wierd and wonderful spots
celebrated new year with a bottle of wine of the beach and then fell asleep at about 9.30pm!
Drove the wrong way down a one way street
Got a ticket for driving the wrong way down a one way street! (in our defence - paul was driving and I was "navigating" - it wasn't very clear at all!)
Hung out with sufers in Raglan - NZ's answer to Newquay
Abseilied 100 metres down a rope to see some glow-worms and then climbed a 30 metre vertical ladder up (which was the scariest bit!)
Today we walked the Tongariro crossing, in other words round and up and over a volcano. It was a 17K, 8 hour journey, and it was my idea?????? sun must have gone to my head.
Forgive The Beatles Sgt. Pepper reference, it came out of nowhere but just
felt appropriate, so given the “occasion”, I’m sticking with it as this

The Kiwis must have a thing about going the wrong way. Mum and Dad got a ticket for parking facing the wrong way in Aukland.
Hope you keep enjoying 2008
