On the Road in The land Of The Kiwis
12.01.2007
so after a week of painful boredom and sickness i finally left aukland. i picked up alyce on thursday and we took off friday morning. our mode of transport this trip is in style with our new mate Birty. a 1987 toyota camper van with 394,000 kilometers, a bed and a sink. complete set up! the old girl isnt the best running car as you could expect to get for $1800 u.s. the first night on the road proved to be a stressful but still funny one and we got birty stuck in a ditch and had to have her towed out in the middle of the night. we are currently in the bay of islands on the north island and despite the pissing rain i have never seen so much beautiful country side go forever. jsut one hour out of the city we came upon a hiking trail that took us through the most breathtaking rain forest to a water fall. now i can see what my dad is going for in our back yard wiht all of the new zealand and australian ferns and palms. our plan is to stick here for another day and take a tour of the islands. to many peoples dismay not inlcuding mine there is a cyclone coming to hit land soon but for me that means great waves and tommorow we are heading to 90m mile beach so i can finally after a few months of to much partying get wet. here are some photos... stay tuned!

thats a bad ass picture of the tower man. We didnt end up getting to the transky which i think was your favorite spot around j-bay and that. Not enough time really we should have planned for more here. Capetown is cool man, where going cage diving tomorrow its nuts. New Zealand looks like its treatin you well, planning on getting to the south island? NIce video, bet that felt nice, can we get a picture up of the bruise? Oh and 15 is still pretty young.
