a week of beauty

the last week on the road has been the most awe inspiring part of my trip by far. this country is full of the most beautiful scenery i can ever imagine. every where we go in birty there ios a new thing to comment out loud on and it is getting quite repeititive between me and alyce saying wow thats amazing or thats beautiful! so we have tried to use to some more off the wall adjectives to use. another great thing is that i finally surfed after about 3 months of being dry. it brought me back to life especially with my bout of flu. i dont know why i went so long wiothout surfing but that moght be the only time the rest of my life especially seeing how great it made me feel again. we made iot up to the tip of new zealand which is called cape reinga and are currently at lake toupo, a very nice quaint town over looking the biggest freshwater lake in australasia and is over looked by a large snow topped moutain. our plan is to travel over to the east coast for some surfing and beach time before heading to the south island. heres ome photos from our trip thus far though they wont come close to doing this country justice.

Hey let me know if you want any tips about the East Coast I was born and bred there! Just let me know which direction you're coming from. I.e. if your going to Napier and coming up or from Whakatane/Opotiki and heading down. I know a few spots around Gisborne, that most tourists haven't discovered yet, but anyways let me know if you're interested. Keep living it up.
