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!

lots of love charlie xxxxxx
