*Clocks and Views*
It has been a slow few days in Whangarei but we have had some much needed rest and I was reconnected with the twi/facebook world, only to find that RobSten is officially out…Well to some extent. Good for them *grumble* no, no I am totally not ok with this. I cannot blame him for keeping his hands busy whilst I am off gallivanting across the globe…but DAMN. Silver spoon. In mouth.
Anyway, back to me and little E who is currently off er, probably rubbing himself up against more bark or what not.
See what I mean? Never mind the RobSten it’s all about the BarkWard…or Edwood – hahaha.
Well it was really quite irresponsible of me to take him to the clock factory where he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of year old wood considering this new fetish. Honestly he kicked up quite a fuss when it was time to leave. I told him if he did not behave then I would put him in the freezer and leave him there for the remainder of our trip. After a stern, stare off he gave in and left the pretty expensive clocks behind.
Tick tock, freezer o’clock
We spent Sunday putting up a Christmas tree and having a Christmas party with Keri’s family. PE stayed shut away in my room admiring all my birthday cards. He felt safer there and since the xmas tree was fake did not feel inclined to go dry hump it. Hmmm, I think castration is on the cards.
Monday was more trekking up mountains, to the top of Parihaka, Whangareri’s highest peak. Lucky for my little legs you can drive all the way to the top, minus a few steps. Much more my kind of trek! There’s a war memorial at the top which looks like a silver bullet on the top of the mountain on a good sunny day. Unfortunately it was a pretty cloudy day but still some amazing views from the top.
Rather brave to place him here considering the recent attempts of escape..and all that bark below him. Keri’s grandmother held her breath as I took this. I think she would have cried right along with me if the worst had happened.
Pretty cloudy views.
Today, Tuesday, we headed down to Taupo for the night. Taupo is situated in the volcanic heart of the north island and is set around Lake Taupo which is New Zealand’s largest freshwater lake. Tomorrow we are visiting the Huka Falls (I may leave PE in bag safetyness after last time) where we’ll be going on the HukaFalls Jet boat. A 30 minute thrill ride, during which we will get VERY wet. And it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, so extra wet, fun times.
Tomorrow night we are heading back up a bit to Rotorua for two nights. So I will post all my adventures when I can. *fingers crossed for more wireless internet enabled motels*.
huh so maybe PE has attached himself to the nearest *hard thing* he can find after PE (Corr) …desperate times
I think little e has a problem, i think he needs help. we need to ween him off of bark and onto heroin.
well you are seeing some real nice sights!!! and err you are gonna get two christmases WIN!!!
