ok, so where was i, oh yeah, i got my wheels and was about to head out on my road trip. so im now in napier, the art deco capital of the world apparently, have booked in for 2 nights here and have free wifi, u cant believe how happy i am to have free wifi 24hrs, NZ hasnt really grasped the concept of free wifi yet, even if u go to coffee shops or stay in hostels they still want you to pay, makes life on the road very difficult! anyway, soooooooo. before i left me chris and his gf rose went out for a farewell dinner, rose paid, which was very nice of her considering i said i would take chris out to dinner for putting me up for over a week!
chris sad his dinner arrived last, rose happy hers didnt
me glad to get mine, it was gooood
chris gets his at last
us with the car, i still have to name it
we had also had an NZ chippy to go with the beers, with a large selection of pretend heinz tomato sauce
then kellys auntie, uncle and friends turned up absolutely wasted!! now i know where kelly gets her driking habits from! this is her auntie, maybe wearing a mask, pretty GLAM!
me also looking pretty GLAM
kellys uncles mate trying to get us to sit on his knee and kiss his cheek, iv heard of guys like this!!
