Well I am in Auckland now and have 3 short days until I head to Thailand. I been amazed that the Beaches up North are so Tropical and Beutiful and yet the water is still cold. I must admit that I wish I had stay another few days in the South. The north is nice, but the south and the mountains are more my style. I wish I could make it up to the Bay of Island, but looks like I am going to miss it this trip.
It pretty crazy to realize that I am now over a month travel and i still have a 11 months plus to go.
One of the coolest hitches I got was I got picked up by a van of high school Mari kids on a field trip. I got to learn a little Mari and alot about their culture and quiz them on America; alot of fun a true cultural experiece. I also been amazed by the continual hostipitality of the kiwi's. Today my hitch insited to pay for my lunch and coffee. Talk about nice people!
