My stay in NZ was cut from 12 to 3 days as i got my driving lkicense nicked off me in Borneo and we couldnt drive round and it woulda been an expsensive ballache to bus it and im coming back at some point so ill do it all proper like then.
Another of Billys 'contacts' put us up very kindly and comfortably. She was called Tennessee and i think it was purely her hospitality that made Auckland so dam enjoyable! She was (and is) a lovely yound lass and proberly distorted my view of Auckland as a grand place. Dont get me wrong its nice but it wouildnt have been as nice as if id been in a hostel, Her generosity skewered my view somewhat in a good way mind.
Gutted not to be there for the world cup its was 9 days away and the city wass buzzing all full of banners and sparkerly stuff it was. Oh well i guess i cant do everything i can only be so spoiled right?
Tennessee tooks us to a lovely warm italian eatery where the food was scrumcious and it was bring your own wine. Now i dont no why this technique isnt implimented more at home, it s a grand idea and i fell it shoudl be encoraged more in fact im going to campaign for it on my return to blighty!
The only thing of note i did in Auckland for my 3 days was visit an island 45 mintes from the city called Waiheke a beautiful day ensured that consisted of wine tastying, hitch hiking and lots of sunshine it was all very glorious and i came back home a tad tipsy and best of all the the last winery forgot to charge me for the 5 wines id had. Take that you grape crushers!!
Me and Bill have now seperated. He gets the house and i get the children, he said he never loved them anyways the angry brute! Im home in 10 days but first i have some wonderful island hopping to do round Fiji. Ill come back all freckled and red i bet.
