*Let’s go again!!!…and again, and again…*

Thursday 19^th November

 Today I got all cultured, for a bit. We visited Whakarewarewa, a traditional (well ok modernised) maori village. It’s built round the geothermal vents, which are active, and constantly realise smelly gas from the earth.

 Try and…SAY IT. OUT LOUD…go on, I dare you.

 

 No PE, it is not the DOG you can smell, that’s the sulphur..he was not impressed with the stench, however good for the complexion it may be.

 

We had a wonder around the village and immersed ourselves in the souvenir shops cultural experience. And you know me, constantly looking for photo opportunities, for er PE of course, because I am not a poser at all, no sir-e. Well, I am now having my photo taken whilst taking PE’s. I am not sure I like this. Everyone else was quite amused though.

Fucking stand still you useless piece of unproportioned 7 inch piece of plastic *looks around* I mean er… come now smile for Meg, you will be rewarded with freezer time later *sorry PE (Corr), I promise there is no mistreatment of PE’s going on during this adventure, twitards honour*

After all the posing from both human and plastic (er..) we went and watched the performance, not before stopping and having a picture taken with the warrior. Keri overindulged in pictures of him, so now I have maori porn on my laptop.

 Spot the tourists.

So after losing my Huka viewing virginity, we headed off for the afternoon at Skyride. Oooo this was fun!! We took a gondola up to the top of the mountain and the views of Lake Rotorua were just amazing.

 *This kind of thing just doesn’t exist*

 *It does in my world* ..hmm why do I get the feeling I’m not the only one you’ve strung that line to?

And when we got to the top not only did we have unbelievable views, and the most perfect weather (particularly after yesterday) we got to go on luge rides down the hill!

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!       

 And once I went once I wanted to go again, and again, and again.

 On the way back up to go again!! – cause once really is never enough.

We went for a total of 4 times, and not once did I fall off the thing, or go over a cliff. I was very impressed with myself. Particularly after the amount of times I have bashed my head on various obstacles during my two weeks here. Oh yes last night Keri’s nan said to me “you are rather accident prone aren’t you?” o.0 What it took you that long to figure it out?!

Unfortunately we had to leave and eat at some point, and I suppose the people that worked there wanted to go home, so after an evening in the all you can eat buffet *bloat* we took a stroll back to the motel. We aimed for a power walk, but Keri stopped every 5 seconds to take pictures of trees, and she thinks I’m the crazy one?

Then it was time for some relaxation time in our private spa, which PE hogged and I found out he sinks.

Haha water distortion, somebody needs some of that cardboardcutoutness that real life Eddie has going on.

 After some much needed swimming tuition (apparently), he then got a little carried away with the bubble jets.

 Dirty little bugger

This was our cue to get out and head to bed leaving PE in peace whilst he erm…well, best left to the imagination eh?

Today had to be one of the best days so far, I have loved Rotorua, smell aside of course. We are headed back up to Auckland tomorrow to hopefully get our bridge climb in over the weekend, weather permitting. And this means internet for updating and such J and I am DYING to here what T.I thinks of New Moon – gah!! 3 weeks!!
