G'day mates from the land down unda! (Warning, this post is actually about New Zealand even though I am in Australia right now)

SOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

First, for all of you following, I want to apologize for being a terrible blogger. Truth is, yes I haven't had time for it, but also, the few times I've tried to update this thing I've had issues with it and nothing came through.

So none, the less, now you get the first legit post since I crossed the pacific. So, let me fill you in on what I've done/seen.

New Zeland:
First off, flying in we were on Air New Zealand and one of the stewardesses looked like Elizabeth Hurley. Yea, it was an awesome flight. We also had out own tv's and like 100 movies to see, i saw slumdog millionaire first, not bad at all, especially with the free beer :D

In NZ I drank L&P and Tui like it was going out of style. I took a bus called the magic bus (no realy drugs involved) around the north island and saw Waitomo glow worm caves, went to Rotorua for some thermal wonderland shit, Taupo where our new buddies went sky diving, and I pussed out and instead did some cooking with a new swedish buddy, and then up to Mt. Maunganui where we met up with a new crew of 3 other guys, all awesome dudes, and hung out on our way back up to Auckland where we did a sushi buffet for $5USD equivalent. Needl;ess to say, the quality wasnt spot on, and I became close to porcelain once again. Oh, and first day in Auckalnd, we went to see a rugby match, a south african team vs. a Kiwi team. We sat next to a very very loud and obnoxious south african guy, who turned out to be really cool. we started talking to him about all sorts of things, not long after he started handing us beer, shortly after that he started showing us scars (he had a really really bad one all the way down his next, he explained to us that johannesburg really is THAT dangerous). after the scars he made us honorary members of his family. i think we were the only whites in his family for that day. none the less, we got more beer, had a good time and then some people started complaining about the south african. I dont think a fight was gonna break out but seeing as the game was ending there was no reason to stick around. overall, damn good experience. turns out the rugby world cup final in 2011 will be played in that exact same stadium.

Heres abnother story worth telling, at least imo. Last day in Auckland, I woke up earlier than usual for no reason, all cos my body clock. I was pissed cos I couldnt go back to sleep and really there was nothing left to do in Auckland but catch our flight at noon to Melbourne, Australia. But w/e I was up and figured I'd start the day. SO, I went to the bathroom to take my piss and brush my teeth. Now, when I was brushing I was lookin myself in the mirror, thinking "wtf adam, there is nothing to do, why am i up so early?" then, divine intervention. A shower stopped, the showers were directly behind me and it was a full wall mirror, so you could see everything when some exits. There was a pile of jeans on a bench and I assumed some dude would come out, perhaps someone to say hi to and possibly eat breakfast with. but no, they were girls jeans as I soon learned. A girl walked out of the shower and of course, I checked her out, top down. She had a towel wrapped around her head to dry her hair, i guess something all women do. but as I soon learned, like all backpackers, we only travel with one towel. amen. full frontal nudity in the morning in auckland, she had no shame, and no reason to have any. it made NZ that much cooler.

Anyways, yet again I am out of intenet time. Thats New Zealand in a nutshell though. Ill go into what I've been doing in Australia in the next few pots, and hopefullly catch everyone up with my trip.
