*This post was supposed to go after part 2 part of course, and I thought that I had published this but if I did, it has dissapeared so here it is.* So next after we left Rotorua we travelled to Whakatane where I again managed to fall and drop things (and I hadn't been drinking lol). Its also where Mr.Fuzzy bought 2 litres of ice cream because it was cheaper than buying a small tub. And he did manage to eat a lot of it, but had to leave it at the hostel with a note saying "eat me" in the fridge. We really didn't do much there besides walk around and look at everything. We could have went out to White Island , but the weather wasn't being the best and we didn't want to wait around until a tour group was going to go out. The forecast wasn't good so we decided to move on within a day. [and the air was toxic..you need to wear a gas mask >> Mr Fuzzy] Next we went to Whanarua Bay because we needed to stop and rest after driving. Now just a warning to anyo...

Short post today as I am knackered and need to sleep *snore* So we stayed in Wellington for a few days. After driving a long time (though we ended up arguing due to the stupid one way system throughout Wellington coupled with 5 odd hours of driving = short tempers all round >> Mr.Fuzzy), all we wanted to do was relax, do laundry and sleep. We did manage to get lost a few times before we found the hostel we were going to stay at (and its not a hard hostel to miss, you can see it from a good distance) so when I was woken up before 7 by some screaming children running back and forth up the hall I was not happy. By the time Mr.Fuzzy woke up I was even more pissed off as they had gotten worse (I did scare one though when I yelled back at a kid to shut up and stop running around like an animal. He ran back into his room pretty damn quick after that :P) You never expect hostels to be a quiet place, but the kids were out of control. So Mr.Fuzzy went to complain and found out that we were...

So I left the last post with me getting to Whitianga in the afternoon. Um can't really say much about the hostel other than it was clean (didn't really like the way the people that ran it treated the people staying there, so I wont mention the name). Of course it was raining so we couldn't really do much, and Mr.Fuzzy had just got out of bed anyway (1 in the afternoon. lazy :P). And because he had just gotten out of bed he of course needed to have breakfast and that included toast with Vegemite spread on it. Offered me a piece and I should have just nodded "thanks no", but I was possibly still a zombie from the jet leg and said "yeah ok". Ok the smell alone should have warned me but I have never tasted anything so vile before and I don't think I will ever again (I know there are lots of people that love it, but I will never be one. John says that eating it he doesn't get bitten by bugs, which might be true). But there is a plus to the Vegemit...

Ok I apologise to people that are still on dial-up as there are a lot of photos in this post :) Since almost all of my art supplies are packed away I thought I would do a post of our travels in New Zealand. So the above picture of the Sky Tower in Auckland is the only picture I took in Auckland that turned out. After 22+ hours getting to NZ I was pretty out of it. So I flew from Toronto to L.A. and spent 7 hours before my flight to NZ trying not to fall asleep or get mugged (no wasn't scared of that actually, was more afraid of falling asleep and missing my flight). By the time I got to Auckland I was so sleep deprived I had no idea where I was going. No really, I had no idea where I was staying. I chose Base as a place to stay as it was the last place I read about before I left and it was the first place that came to my mind when the scary immigration officer asked where I was going to be. He didn't look very happy when I said I had no idea where I was staying and as I real...
