Hello Everyone its Mr Sheffield reporting from cold new zeland, we decided to leve Cains about 4 days early as the weather was bad and there isnt much to do there if you dont want to spend a fortune, so anyway we arrived into aukland and checked into our hostel, we then found out that the all Blacks were playing england the next evening whicjh was a bit of a result, so we got tickets to that. we lost 20-36 which was to be expected. the next morning we went out and looked for suitable campervans to tour the country, we got toyota hiace's two of them both with very funky paint jobs as youll see when i next put pictures on. so we then began our road trip, unfortunatelty we are missing one member of the 6 who had to stay in aukland to work for financial reasons, fortunately we spent a week with nick in the north island so it wasnt all that bad, he will be catching us up in Queenstown, so anyway during our week in the north island we caught with one of mark smith's (bens dad's) many lady friends. i believe she was his P.A if thats what you call them ;). she put us up for the night and cooked us roast lamb which was INCREDIBLE. thanks Gennel. we then went to Bay of Islands, waitomo where we did some caving which was amazing, 40 meter absale down a tiny hole in the earth which led to endless passages and underground waterfalls. then we made out way to rotorou then to lake taupo, napia, and finally wellington where we said goodbye to nick and caught the ferry to the south island we then came to visit one of james's friends over here, they are is x next door neighbours who emmigrated out here a number of years ago, so we arrived to there house in nelson. on the side of a mountin. its a beautiful spot. we were fed and watered which was nice because getting a bit tired of rice and pasta. were still staying with them at the moment, im wrighting this verry blog of there computer, were heading south tomoro so its going to be getting colder and colder. we have been to the local primark and brought some warm clothing, i think il wrap that up there. were off to play golf now, adios xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
