Man I've Neglected this blog. The Taupo Half Marathon.

Well the Rugby world cup so far I've gotten to day 3? I think so.

Well I left Donna, packed all my belongings up, which is my Tennis bag with a tent, an air bed a sleeping bag, my toiletries and my clothes.

I went of to Jucy rentals!!to pick up my car, it was a ........NISSAN SUNNY!!!!

What a cracking vehicle. From Auckland i traveled for about 1 hour, Had lunch at a cafe called Oxford landing, then arrived in Kinlock, Taupo at 4pm.

I needed somewhere to say, Donna rang me to tell me that a backpackers wouldn't be far away, Well I'd just passed a Bed and Breakfast and thought, Oh I've never stayed in one of those before. I Enquired about the price $180!!!

Well i got speaking to The guy in charge, he asked me several questions, turned out he was a pommy. Supported Totenham! Well someones got to! I said goodbye and started looking for this backpackers. He then came out again and let me stay for Free!!! Happy days!!
 

Day 1; Meeting Donna.

Oh my gosh!!!!!

Well firstly I'm really sorry for not keeping up with this thing with being in New Zealand. But this has been and still is one hell of a rollercoaster ride.

The 30th of August. I had a trip to Central station to use my last free breakfast token up. Beautiful. Off for a trip of a lifetime afterwards.

I strolled up to the departure board to find my flight had been CANCELLED! oh no. alsorts of thoughts were going through my head. What am i gonna doooooo. However luckily some might say there was enough seats on the Air New Zealand flight 30 mins beforehand to get transferred. Happy Days.

However when checking in on my transferred flight the woman could not find my working holiday visa electronically on the system.

They had to ring Customs and found out that my visa was stored as David instead of Morris. OMG! Man when she said I'm going to ring customs.

SCARY TIMES!

However then was all good. I arrived at 5pm to see Donna right at the entrance. She'd only just arrived. Get In. Off to her house for a couple of stubbies, fajitas and a good sleep!!!!
