Ok, ok. My own parents I can ignore, but not those of my friends. So a little update on what me and K-sticks are up to. After Continuing the the road trip up the east coast from Duneden (yes, there was surf, aswell as generally arseing about, doing hammer-time in car parks, lots of press ups and hold your breath competitions), we stopped at the ranch for a regroup,a bit of fishing and then Wellington, yeah. My old flatmate kris meet us off the no-food-ferr...

Tsunami alert! Well, we might finally catch some waves after all. No really, and a big thank you to those who let me know about it, glade that people out there still care.

But no worries, were surfing, going to get wet anyway. Spent awhile ...

After five months of doing things my way, I decided to go all out package tours, visited Halong bay, nice for about ten minutes, then three days trekking in Sapa up by the Chinese boarder.
