Well, i arrived in matamata to stay with a lovely friend of melissa's called kimberley, who melissa met when she was in london last year.

Yesterday we had fun at a place called Paradise Valley, it was a bit like a zoo, i met lots of really nice animals, there was a goat there who I particularly liked and who gave me a kiss. There were some lions too, but I was too scared to see them so stayed hiden away.

Today, we went to see some Geysers, which were like mini volcanoes. We also saw a Maori performance which was very good.
