We had a great dinner next door in downtown Tapoa. The group that started together in Auckland -2 went out to dinner tonight next door at a Western restaurant - Bu8ffalo Bill is the theme! We had a great meal, but now the people who were supposed to leave us think that they are coming becauase the group is so good and the activities that they wre staying to do are days away because of weather.

The atmosphere at these hostaels is party orientated, even for an old lady like me! Too much alcohol and great fun together. I feel old and yet invigorated by being part of this scene. I am having fun and seeing lots of this incredibly beautiful country.

Miss the adults in my life = feel like these wonderful kids are like the students who gradulatd in the last couple of years!!

Talk to you soon.
