Hey everyone, here is the update of our holiday.

Since the Sevens we went to hamilton to see my sister and little daniel which was nice, we played in there back yard and had a chat and some lunch. After that we drove back to tauranga and had some yummy dinner and venison.

The next day we got up early ish and drove towards Gisborne via the eadt coast highway which was very pretty. Stopped in ohope beach for a look and then in opotiki for some lunch. After which we drove though the gorge to gisborne and got a motel before chilling on the beach and having some yummy dinner. The next morning we drove to napier to meet mike and Fi. We had soem lunch at SHADES in Napier, now if your ever in Napier and are attending lunch at Shades beware of the gourmet chicken burger as its very ungormet and you will be left feeling ill. The chicken in a gourmet vurger you would thyink would be a chicken brest, or tenderloins but no it was like a large chicen nugget!!! i was not happy with it and nor was mike.

After this burger probelsm we all strolled around napier, taking in some great sights and views. We then headed for our little cottage in havelock north which wa sin an apple orchard. We then went to the super market for some supplies and then had a cheeky beer by the pool and chatted about times gone by. then we fired up the bbq and had some yummy dinner.

ON the saturday we borrowed and hired soem bikes and went wine tasting, i dont care much for wine but this was fun, we tried a few different places before finding a cheese place and had soem lunch, then we went to another vinyard for another taste or 2 and rode back to the cottage via the pub fro a cheeky beer or 2. That evening we again fired up the bbq and watched some telly chatting again.

Sunday we went to SPLASH PLANET, it was a fun day but i wouldnt go to splash planet again unless it was SUPER SUPER Hot as the slide we not designed for adults, although it was still entertaining and we even got in a round of mini putt.

After we got home we all showered up and drove to a nice pub called the loaded ram, we ate some yummy steak sammys for dinner and polished off soem cheeky monteiths summers as well then we went to the movies and thus closed the night. We got back watched a little telly chatted some more and then hit the hay.

 On Monday we got up packed had some brunch and, coffee and then said our goodbyes and make tracks back to tauranga.

On the way kate and i nearly ran out of fuel but managed to stay afloat just long enough. On arrival home to tauranga we were nackered and simply chilled out.

Tuesday we spent most of the day at the beach, we walked around the mount in the morning before going to tauranga and having some lunch at the crown and badger. After which we drove to the beach and sat in it, surfed a bit and chilled out lots!!!!

Tuesday evening we all went to a lovely dinner at the harbourside cafe which isctually over the harbour, it was very nice.

Wednesday we walked around the mount again with mummy and had some breakfast which was very nice. We then drove back home and we rested before going to the beach again and sitting and swimming and surfing. Now we are back from that and well rested. Am begining to think about dinner!!!!  PICS HERE

Well after the last entry I did indeed make it to the Dentist, which was fine, Kate and I also did go to Tauranga with Mum, had lunch at the mount. Kate and I later went to the mount and climbed up it. Took some cool pics and then climbed down a rather cliff like way and had a frozen yogourt as a treat!!!

 The next day we Flew to Wellington, the landing was rather jumpy but fine in the end and we meet mike and fi. Unfortunitly our bag was not there to meet us and we were told it had been sent to christchurch by mistake. It was later couriered to us so nothing was lost. That evening we had a BBQ with mikes relatives which was fun and I ate lots of yummy bbq food as well as mikes nanas truffles…

 The next day we woke early to have a big cooked bbq breakfast, eating lots of hash browns, sausages, eggs, ect ect ect…. we then set about getting ready for the sevens with everyone dressing up. We soon pilled into Deans work van and were takent ot he stadium. ONces inside the stadium we were soon on the beers and drank many though out the day while watvhing and laughing at the different costumes around the place. The games went well , especially when canada beat australia and kenya beat argentina. Soon the days entertainment was over and we got the bus back to mike and fis, ate what was left over for breakfast and hit the hay.

Next day was even better as we all got ready again, got our gear on and went to a car park next to the stadium, cooked a bbq and played some cricker with some faulty tennis balls and a wooden tennis racket!! it was fun and soon we were on the way to the stadium again. today everyone was a big weary but soon the beers took that all away and we were well into the swing of everything!!! Was a great day, NZL beat England which was great but lost to Fiji. And then Samoa beat Fiji in the final which was a bit of a shock but well recieved by all. After that we went to town and danced in a place called electric avenue, it was a new 80’s bar and was loads of fun. Although wellington had decided to pu up the prices on all the liquor so the cash didnt last as long as normal, but oh well, lifes tough. Ended up going home around 4 am and had a taxi driver who was from iraq and aparantly had a wife who was only beautiful on the inside, and very ugly on the out side, it puts him off all the time aparantly hahaha.

Sunday we were all struggling a bit for energy but managed to walk to a local bar over a small hill next to mike and fionas and took some grwat pics, had a yummy lunch and then was back at mike and fis to watch the cricket, (which we lost) and then again hit the hay.

Kate and I had a really cool time and cant wait for our next wellington trip whenever that will be. Pics follow the other onces located HERE 

Hey all, just a quick update. We arrived well, flight although was long went quickly enough and was quite pleasent as far as 22 hour flights go!!! Watched lots of movies and ate lots of snacks… they keep coming round offering treats all the time!!!

 On arrival we got in a cab with the biggest samoan in the world.. he got anoyed when i paid with a credit card instead of cash but oh well hahahaha.

We slept good and then caught the flight to tauranga on the smallest plane in the world, it only seats 16 people, kate was a little scared but it was a nice scenic flight.

Then we meet my family and ate some scones and baked beans for lunch and chilled out. Got splashed by my little nephew in the paddling pool and then got so hot that we had to go to the neach for a swim.

 Chilled out watching cricket and fell asleap at 9.

 The next day we were up early, and soon on the raod to a lake to got jet skiing, it was very cool, i like going fast the best, it was nice and hot also although had a small sun shower at one stage.  Had a picnick on the lake , more jet skiing and then back home. We had a BBQ for dnner at my aunt and uncles and then were home and ready for bed again.

Yesterday were were on the beach by 9:30, and swam lots, did some body surfing before looking around the shops in the hot hot sun. Had some sushi for lunch and then got home to make dinner for everyone, and watch more cricket…

 Now I am about to go to the dentist and look around town.

Pics are here (or will be soon).

Hey everyone, this is the last day of work before Kate and I go to NZL. I wont write much, im being naughty in work… and i think im going to have some red lable coke as a treat.. im leaving work early today and then am off to london, staying in a hotel and then off to heathrow in the morning. Flight leaves at 11am.. so Just over 24 hours before departure.

Happy new year everyone! hope you all had an exciting new years eve…. Kate and I went to a house party drank beer, ate more food and sang songs….we nearly ended up walking home in a massive thunder storm with giant hail stones…. but luckily we bagged a cheeky lift with a French man…. good old Jean Pierre drove us through the hail and lightening while Kate made him laugh by saying all the French words she could remember from school!

We stayed at Emma’s house after being introduced to Gorge the tortoise……who seemed to be in exactly the same position when we awoke this morning….but he was definitely alive because I saw him blink….I want a tortoise now but Kate won’t let me cos she thinks I may stand on it hahahahaha

we spent most of the day lounging around I managed to fit in another episode of macgyver before a cheeky afternoon nap….. back to work tomorrow, booooooo, but only a few more weeks till we feel the sunshine hoooooooray

Hope you all have an excellent 2007
