Hello avid readers,
Had a real good day today. Had an early start as me and Martin were walking the Manawatu gorge walk this morning, takes about 4 hours so we wanted to be done by lunchtime.
The walk was fantastic, there werent many views, and the ones that were there were obscured by the clouds. It was mainly a bush walk and this itself was great, really feels like your on the otherside of the world with all the different flora and fauna that was around. The pictures dont really give you an impression of how high above the gorge we were, but Andy....you would have shat yourself at some points, with some steep cliff edges that just fell away on both sides!!
So after that exertion we had a lazy lunch in a cafe at the end of the track, jane and some of her Massey colleagues joined us. There does seem to be cafes everywhere in this country, everyone we've been to has been fantastic, great food, cheap...and they all seem to sell booze!!
This evening some of martin and janes neighbours came over for dinner, and in true kiwi style everyone got very very drunk, was fantastic fun and we managed to secure the use of their 'Bach' (holiday home), up near Lake Taupo for next weeks skiing trip on Ruapehu.
Thats all for now, hope everyone is well and thanks for all the messages!!
