Well here we are again, the blog. It has been a while since we have had the chance to update this little wonder of a thing. This was due to many different mitigating circumstances involving, fueds, break ups, lack of internet and a en masse search for jobs. But now we will inform you of our actions.

1. We were just leaving the epic place of Queenstown the last we wrote and from there we went to Kaikora which involved an earthquake scare, which as it turns out wasn't really an earthquake but the local fire department. Still that didn't stop Chewy from diving under the table aghast. Though that may have been down to the rotten slags we were sitting with, a horrible pair. Then there was an emotional reunion of two certain parties. No not Boob and his parents but of Harry and a pleasant "Marine" Brian. They hugged and they kissed and they held hands unbeknownst to the split that was to occur in Auckland.

2. We travelled from Kaikora up to Wellington, to Taupo and back to Auckland. We only stayed at each place for a day as we'd been there and done it all. We were reunited with Christian, who had set off from Kaikora a day early at Sarah Chews. It was an emotional return which absconded into bewilderment as we gleened he had booked a flight down to Christchurch to meet up with a friend. Harry, still in mourning over having to leave Brian in Auckland, Boob and Ward decided to rent out a car and head on up to 90 mile beach via the Bay of Islands.

3. Bay of Islands We clambered into our beast of a car, a Mazda Demio 2004 Manual and headed off North. We reached Paihia late in the afternoon and booked into a hostel, we had arrived at the Bay of Islands a beautiful place. From here we booked our coach up to 90 mile beach saving 50 dollars each by bypassing the robbing b******s at the hostel. We drove to Kaitaia which was a few hours away and got a hostel in preperation for our trip tomorrow. Meanwhile...

3. Christian Chew and his friend had decided to rent out a car also, they got in and drove on down to Queenstown again but who could blame them? It's amazing. Upon their arrival they attempted to contact the Welsh wizards yet alas! they had already left. They set up shop for the night and decided to head on down to Milford Sound the next day.

4. 90 Mile Beach As Chewy was entertaining his friend we awoke early and jumped on the bus that had picked us up from the hostel, our driver for the day was half Maori and half Scottish stating that half of him wanted to go out and get smashed but the other half didn't want to pay for it! Hahaha!! Anyway the point is he didnt shut the f*** up for 6 hours straight, nevertheless he was a good guide. We got to the tip of NZ and saw the two seas collide a beautiful sight and then headed down to do some sand boarding which was a lot of fun if very tiring climbing those sand dunes. We then arrived on 90 mile beach which was not 90 miles but 60 and can be used as a public highway! The Bus drove all the way down stopping on occasion but not for long of fear of the sea coming to claim it's prize. Once we had finished our trip we settled for the night before returning to the Bay of Islands.

4. Christian and his friend headed down to the Sound early as it takes a few hours to get there, only for disaster to strike it's enviable wrath upon them as their car stuttered, and stammered, and spluttered and eventually exploded into breakdown. Poor mr Chew and his friend had to wait 5 hours for breakdown recovery while they sat in silence, their courtesy car was a Nissan Sunny. They return to Queenstown as the realisation dawned on them that they would not be able to see Milford Sound.

5. Bay of Islands + Back to Auckland We returned to the bay of Islands and stayed at a nice little hostel for a few days and got involved with a few games of Tennis. Harry, having never played the sport before quickly got frustrated before losing a few balls and then trying to smash a third as hard as possible, only for the ball to get caught in the little triangle bit at the bottom!! Oh how we laughed! It was the best thing like, ever! Wards frustration soon became unbearable and he erupted into a tirade upon himself as he often does, "No James! NO!! OH f***ING HELL!" "What are you doing that for NOW! t***!" Boob managed to contain his frustrations as his supressed rage takes over his brain. After Boob attempted to cure his skin condition quickly ran into the sea and back out again, whilst in his pants and not even submerging himself. A strange attempt. We met up with a few friends and headed back down to Auckland.

6. Reunion of the Friends? And so we met up again with Chew back at Sarahs follwing the weeks escapades, we jovially told stories and headed on down to play cricket with Gay Abandon. It started well only to end in, what can only be described as absolute debacle. We can't exactly say how it started but it ended in fisticuffs (almost) Harry walked off in anger while Chew and Ward descended upon one another, abuse flowing through their mouths like the winds of Wellington. Then Chew unleashed a Shinryuken whilst Ward retaliated with a Renzokuken, Chew blocked this and followed with a Hadouken which, whilst Ward was unprepared for, managed to dodge it and throw back an Ultima attack...oops sorry, I was playing Street Fighter and Final Fantasy VIII, at the same time. We're fine now anyway. Chew and Ward did not speak to one another for the week following and Boob was entirely nonplussed, awaiting for the event he has been on tenderhooks for for 6 months...Wrestlemania XXVII he settled down and didn've move for 4 hours as the showcase of the immortals took place, he was like a little boy excited for Christmas :). After Ward Boob and Harry took their flight to Australia, Chew had delayed his flight.

7. Australia We flew through customs and got to Base hostel where we were reunited with our friends Hatty Frankie and Clemmie. We attempted a few nights out but it was too expensive for our moth ridden wallets and soon decided to relocate to Kings Cross. But not before our good friend Welsh Nick had caught up with us. We found a hostel which, as it turned out, was a drug infueled mad house full of crack heads and w****s (probably) on one memorable occasion a stoner waltzed into the T.V. room and went of making dinosaur noises before retiring, somewhat wisely, to bed. We went down to Bondi beach and later to Manly beach and caught the ferry back from Manly amidst beautiful night views of Sydney harbour. Some time later we were once again reunited with Chew and Nicks good friend Lewis. Ward and Chew hugged and made up whilst the boys decided to get on the goon and make this s*** memorable, although it was anything but for some.

8. The Not So Memorable Night of Goon We started with the goon, in our 6 room dorm with 2 Scottish lasses. What followed was...well it was extraordinary to say the least. We had absentmindedly decided to do some drinking games before we went out and it quickly descended into chaos. We headed down to the local nightclub where, by hook or by crook, we found ourselves in the V.I.P. section. Lewis had begun to dance on some tables, Ward had quickly ran to the toilets where he remained for the rest of the night...Chundering. Chew somehow made it back to the Hostel, tried, for some reason to watch T.V. failed, and quickly ran to the toilets where he remained for the rest of the night. Nick and Harry made their way to a strip club, which was free entry, Harry bought 2 beers. 20 bucks worth, only to find out they were 0.5%. Lewis remembers nothing of the night. Boob was somewhat sober by comparison and had gotten into World Bar and found two friends. Ward eventually emerged from the toilet and found everyone in bed.

9. The Sydney Opera House - Final Fantasy Well now what a little surprise this was, Ward, spending a few hours back in the U.K. to see when he would be able to see this epic event in Brum, hadn't even checked to see if it would be on in Sydney. Chew, having gone down there earlier had found out and informed him. It was on this weekend and tickets were limited. Ward renounced the information with Boob and both of them decided to run the 45 minute walk down to the Opera House to book tickets, they got there eventually with them both almost being run over on 2 seperate occasions. Upon asking the clerk at the booking counter we immediately booked them for Saturday night before heading back to watch Scott Pilgrim vs The World as the adrenaline left our bodies. Chewy and Harry were incredulous as to their friends actions but they do not understand!! The show soon came around and as the masses ploughed into the merchandise the two friends patiently waited to get there hands on some CDs. They waited for the show to start and it was by no exaggeration one of the greatest experiences for them to have partaken in, ever. Nostalgia flew around the room as the notes of Liberi Fatali stunned the audience and the crowd were cheering by the end. A great show, Chocobo Medley being the highlight ;p amid the emergence of the legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu. Sorry for going on...but we loved it. A thing Ward has personally always wanted to do. Forgive me.

10. Leaving Sydney The Troupe all left Sydney at seperate times, all of us meeting in Coffs Harbour after a 9 hour bus ride through the night. Some had to sleep on the street as the hostel was not open. Since then our time has been spent looking for jobs so theres nothing to report, we soon left Coffs Harbour and headed up to Brisbane where our story ends...for now.

Thanks for reading!
