had many flashes back to "the decent"! was rather worried!
it was so so much fun! saw some amazing glow worms and got so wet and cold but it was all worth it!
went 300ft below the ground into a network of caves with a rubber ring! no lie a inner tube! was all kitted out with a wet suit and very nice white wellies but still got bloody cold!
was like nothing i have ever ever done in my life! was such a amazing thing to see! can hardly describe what it was like other than WOW you have to see for yourself! bought the pics and they kinda show you what we saw but man they def dont do it justice!
having a brill time! im staying in Taupo for the next few days and im very lucky that a friend of mu mummys has aloud me to spend a few nights with them! sleeping in a double bed all to myself is wow! cant even begin to thank them! they are ever so nice and the children Billie and Sam are wickedly funny!
so tomorrow im off to explore! hope i dont get to lost!

white water rafting!
well what can i say i had an awesome day! and thats putting it lightly!
it was wicked went down a 13k river in a massive dingy with a paddle wow!
so the river has rapids, waterfall (only 3m) so not all that big! it is a grade 3-4 river but as we have had so much rain it was pretty much grade 4!
if you have seen without a paddle then you will have seen this river!
at one point we got out onto the river bank so we could slide back in! the drop looks nothing but man it was steep! was a 4m drop and was sheer! wicked!
had so so much fun!
off on the bus tomorrow! ahhhhhh its so cool!
so no worries im still alive mum!

got to subway at 2ish and the bus wasnt going to leave before 4 so had a nice lunch and sat myself down to read my book!
got on the bus and we were off! had a nice chat with the driver of the bus just talking about what i was going to do and what i should def see and all things like that so i was feeling pretty good!
about 2 hours into the journey a random bloke got on and sat next to me! was not all that happy but hey the bus was filling up so couldnt really complain! sat with my ipod on! all was going well until he asked me if he could drink his beer on the bus?!?! well i didnt know so said dont see why not! then he never shut up! think he was high or something as he kept asking me the same things. i got off the bus in Auckland and ran so he couldnt fallow me! crazy man!
so got to the hotel and sorted myself out! was going to go out to bugger king but i fell asleep! woops!
so next morning got up and sorted and left to head down the road to the fat camel to catch the bus! got talking to a girl from Canada and she said the magic bus had already left! panic panic panic! i couldnt have missed it! it was only 7.45 and the bus wasnt leaving till 7.55! few it was the bus going north!
when the correct bus did arrive it was pretty much empty! 11 of us! yay! nice driver and pretty much everyone was alone! wicked!
saw the big L&P bottle, the hobits house thingy so on and so on!
in the afternoon when we arrived we went ZORBING! was so so much fun! big hamster like all with water in rolling down a hill! i went for the zigzag one! bouncing all over the place! water went up my nose and everything! was brill!
so today being tuesday we were going to be white water rafting but a tree has fallen in the bloody river so hopefully we can go tomorrow otherwise i will have to do it elsewhere but it will be more expensive!
so my plans now...... get into the swimming pool which is at 39'c! heated by the ground! its brill!

so im off on Sunday!!!!!!!
yes i leave the wonderful Kerikeri for good! sad and excited all mixed into one! leaving all on my own.... umm im getting braver about it but im sure come Sunday afternoon my poor nails will be no longer!
so Sunday night i stay in Auckland and Monday morning get on the magic bus at 7.55am to head off into the unknown! well Rotorua so not all that unknown! stay their 3 nights as have rather a lot to do! white water rafting is top of that list and not to far down is the spa! bring on the mud!
no im feeling much better now i have sorted everything out! all buses are booked all flights are changed all i have to do now is to sort out where im going to sleep! pretty important as it is bloody freezing here! last night was a clear sky and with thin windows and no heating it gets rather chilly in a big room with only 2 other people for warmth!
shaun remains in Kerikeri in the hope he will have some more work but its looking a bit unsettled! his snow job starts mid June so he wont have to worry for much longer!
will update soon when i start the big journey!
