Howdy. Well I am In Auckland now. Not much to report really as I only got here yesterday and I am about to head off on a tour that will take up most of the next two weeks! Coming through customs was infinitely easier than Australia - they only wanted to see my boots this time and resisted the urge to search my entire bag and accuse me of being hooked on horse tranquilizers. Not too sure what I am doing exactly on my tour but with any luck there will be a few good people who share the love of beer. I am planning on throwing myself of a bridge with a piece of elastic rapped around my feet when I get to Queenstown in a few weeks but whether I have the $$$ or the balls to do it remains to bee seen. If you look at the picture of Auckland that is somewhere on this page, you may be able to see a tall tower. You can base jump off that for just under $200 but whether I do it or not when I am back in Auckland is again dependent on $$$ and/or balls. Hope everyone is well back home etc All the best, Tom x P.S. Not sure how much time I will get to update this thing during my tour so don't panic (mum) if you don't hear from me.
