Aotearoa
In New Zealand and i,m freezin my ass off
I,d forgoten why i used to have special winter cycling gear .
Now i remember. Cause its cold in winter.
Oh yeah.
So i arrived in aukland and bought a second hand hoodie and then headed up over some of the most relentless hill of my trip.
Japan and eurpoe were flat ish around the coast where ass all of new zealand is coved in relentless hill.
I,m only managing about 50 to 70 k a day.
Lazy bastard.

22 Aug 2007
Short shorts
So then i worked on a farm for abouyt a week which was very cool.
Well actually i was helping with building a green house and generally getting in the way eating alot and saying "whats this" to much.
I got to do many interesting thing like teach at an art class , fillet and eel and chase cows around fields .Then i started the real cyclling and my legs are still not talking to me.
Ive gotten to the furthest noth i,m going and so now its all south .
The kiwis are real friendly and everyone gives me the nod or wave and says sweet as bro
alot.
.Fish and chips are the natioal food and everyone wears shorts and a hoodie and a wool hat even tho its freezing.
There all mad.

Toku ingoa ko Dara.
Yo yo
This one goes out to snoop dog and dre and 50 cent and all my homies keepin it reel yes.
indeed.
So after that farm i went north for a while which as usual people said was going to be beautifull which always sets of bloody alarm bells .Mountains of bloody mountains later i entered the Kauri Forests of Northland . Holy Shit man these things are big. Check you lord of the forest/ kauri trees on the internet to see some of them. Ps your on the internet now- its like a giant web of computers with lots of crasy asian people killing each other in world of warcraft on it , ameican milaarty bebo net stuff .Any way where was i .
Forests .
Yees
There like some sort of prehistoric lands with giant ferns and strange birds making weird noizes and lots of other weird and wonderfull growing things and one lost sweaty paddy on his fourth steak and cheese pie of the the day eighth bottle of public toilet tap water struggeling thru them.And no piss off before you say it i havent hugged and of the fucking trees .
Any how then i went to some propper hick ass kiwi towns were the dress code is wellingtons and very sort shorts a dirty hoodie and shades for the men .mullet is a spicy optional extra.
Then i did some more woofing on a even wackyer farm. That was powed by a waterwheel made out of washing mashines.
I,m in Rotarua now which is pretty cool.
Themal springs ruff ass town with losts of smelly egg gass pouring out of random spots aroound the city.
I,ve met lots of really cool kiwis .
There actually a pretty likeable bunch. Really chilled out, and a bit ruff and drity and mad as badgers some of them. Propper.
I did white water rafting yesterday which was very cool .
And mountain biking today which i,m now addicted to .
Bloody sports i,m going to force my self to like bridge soon because i need to sit on something thats not a saddle . Maybe flower aganging or oragami
no more saddles.
Saddles Bad infact.
On to Taupo next for a sky dive
Then on to napier of the extreeme adventure activity know as donc rosheen and shea.
i,ll have to get my fitness up to be ready for that one.
Rock on my cozmic brothers and sisters.

So Taupo was a good laff . Did the required skydive which was as fun as you,d imagine jumping out of a plane to be . It was deadly crack.Then on to Taurangi with me to do the tongiriro crossing which was amazing. Proabally one of the best things i,ve done so far. mt Doom from lord of the rings on one side and lots of other bloddy big mountains all around . There was snow on the pass which made it interesting in some section with me in my runners.There was my self a guy from chile and calini from france germany and japan. I,m like so totally international.Ya. Photos are up on ringo .
Then i went back to Tauop and began the 2 day cycle to napie to see Donc and rosheen and shea. So after the long hilly section section that i could have sworn the map said was flat the real climbin began. What idiot descide to but a mountain range there anyway. How rude!
So Now i,m here in Hoamona ( new Ireland) near Napier with His lordship Shea and his Staff. Hes propper smiley and well behaved witch is chillin.
Rosheens cookin up as storm as usual and i,m staying with There other irish friends Paul and Paul in there man shed.
I got up at seven to watch The BOD and co get whipped . Like totally sooo emabarasing like. They,ll never be able to show there face in kylies in Donnybrook again.Tote.
yesterday i went climbing with donc and then we ate three steaks each.
For real
Thats all for now folk,s .
Sweet as bro.

I,m down at the Franz Joseph glacier in the south island now .Hope fully tommorow i,ll be falling on my arse on alarge lump of ice, and making tastlesess jokes to a group of people who wish they booked with the other company so they would,nt have to listen to some ranting irishman ,whos probally been camping/cycling on his own for a bit to long for his own good.Anyway i realise while haning out with donk and rosheen that i was a bit behind time and descided to take a bus. Yes Ruthy i know thats cheating and i,m a big girl and i know if richie or art etc were doing it THEY wount have to get one but fuck it i,ve said it now. I took a bus. (here comes the justificcation) I skipped the boring bit between Napier and wellington and passed Bye Parmerston north ( "The only reason to come to parmerston north is to kill your self" John Clease.)Wellinton is actually a cool city Nice chillin buzz and losts of "alternative and interesting stuff to do and see .An a cool huge free museam.Yes i,m 27 and i just put the words Cool and museam in the one sentance. So i dropped in my Passport to get my india visa fell off my bike in the rain in the process and then fecked about for a few days .
Ferry across to the south Isalnd was pretty cool .Then i Stayed in a Backpacers in Picton where i met an 2 welsh and a scot and go so drunk on wine i Hissed at them like a snake from the ground for a while where upon my self and the scots man who was the same height as me punched each other with boxing gloves till he neary knowed me out and i hut his finger/lip. Next day i got up and cycled the wrong direction for about 60 k in the rain .Dam Kiwi signs / Hangover. I actually wasnt my fault . The sign said Nelson ,but what it failed to that it was nelson via Limerick and i could have gone a shorter scenic route. Cheers Sign well done. Then i went camping in the sounds for a day or two which was sweat .Then on to neson to pic up my passport and hang out in a hostel that was so full of Hangers i thought i was in san Fransisco again. Colourfull characters to say the least. Ha Ha The all blacks are out of the World cup.
