At last i have made it to the journal, after much fannying around and swearing when uploading images.
OREWA
We arrived here purley by our own stupidity, lack of organisation and luck. Yet alas, we are in a good place right now. We jumped on the magic bus in auckland and had no idea where we were going. (the magic bus is like a cheap way to get around for travellers, you can get off anywhere on route, but most people seem to do the whole country in 10 minutes missing all the real bits). we were on the bus for all of 20 mins when we jumped off in god knows where at the time, and ended up here.
after stumbling off the bus fully loaded like donkeys some friendlies approached us and asked if we were travelling the world. this lady directed us towards the backpackers where we round a bunch of batchelors who live there. funny lot but really nice.
the beach is fantastic even on the cloudy first day. Its all part of the Hibiscuss Highway, along the east coast, just above Auckland. Now the sun is shining and it is even better. me and em are being so slack and lazy i think we are joining the oaps. nice to relax a bit tho. been drawing and writing on the beach this morn. hopefully gathering lots of insparation for illustration when i get home and get ass in gear.
the sea itself is hell of a cold as its only just beginning to be spring here. maybe risk it this eve after a jog. (yes its time to do summat bout the figure). wearing factor 60 as the ozone layer is so thin due to "you guys in the northern hemosphere polluting the atmosphere"( quoted the magic bus man yeaterday)
anyway moving on tomorow northwards where it sould be even hotter. Warkworth is the next stop. should be going to marine reserve at Goat Island and a Hot Springs water park. all fun. i could get used to this travelling malarkey.
update you guys again soon by which point i should be brown or burnt. any questions just ask. hope you like the pics. the sea front itself is just like corwall when you look out to sea and more tropical when you look inland.
anyways adios
