New Zealland continues....
So, the first week passed in our NZ adventure and we had only been involved in a handful of illegal activities... I must say that things were off to a good start.
So Pixie and I rose early Monday morning (well 9am.....) to catch the train to Wellington, where we picked-up our car for ROAD TRIP #2!!! We had our addaptor for the cd player, we had snacks, we had maps, basically we had everything needed for a good road trip. Well the gods had other plans, much to our original excitement, there was a cd player in the car... but it didn't work.... No tape player for the addaptor.... and the radio only worked during flat open areas (which there really wasn't any... remember the mountains from Lord of the Rings).... Hmmmmmmm.. whatcha gonna do, eventaully Pixie beat me down for my singing and we just delt with the fuzzy radio.
ON the road trip we saw alot of pretty sweeet stuff! Our basic route was to leave from the bottom of the North Island and drive up the middle to the Corimundel peninsula. We visited Thermal pockets (basically sulfer, gassy, farts from the earth), a hot beach (where you dig up the sand during low tide and hot water comes up). Pixie had to drive some of the craziest, winding, thin, roads I have ever seen (thank god it was a car and not the campervan)!!!!! I think my favorite part has to be the views we saw, continuously you were surrounded by the most unbelievable sites! And no picture we took really did it justice (in my humble opinion). Finally on the last day my cold had cleared up enough for my second real experience of driving on the otherside of the road, good times, good times!! (the first driving story is an inperson kinda tale, seeing as it implicates me in a crime..bwahahahaha)
We went to the museum in Wellington once more..still didn't see it all.. Although it aloud us to photograph some Kiwi birds since we failed to fins any on our road trip!
We just want to thank Pete for letting us crash at his place while we were in the country!! You are always welcome here!
So it was finally time to leave NZ... and with one final F-U the country demanded $25 more dollars before we could fly out.... there were much plotting on the part of Pixie and I ("just how long before they would be forced to deport us?", "What act would get us kicked out, but not thrown in jail?", you know the usual)
It seems like a lifetime ago now, but I will always remember the beauty and how drinking and smoking really was just a second nature!! So free, so natural....
