moniques mail from cairns

well folks the last I wroteI was in Dunedin workinig in a hostel doing laundry well I didn't stay there long(I'll have to add that tomy cv of short jobs with the two nights in a pub. I then wenttravellingagain but wont bore you with the details.I decided to hitch up the west coast and
stay and work on a farm before flying up to Auckland to meet up with Isobel and Muireann.It was my first time hitching on my own but it was grand, I even got a lift from a cop in a squad car!
I was meant to do a walk up a glacier but it lashed rain all day so I didn't bother and headed up the west coast to work on Stu's farm for about 10 days with the 180 cows, 2 dogs, 1 puppy,1 cat,1 rabbit,deer, 2 sheep, chickens. It was brill!
Afterv Leavign the Farm I flew up to Auckland and myself Isobel and Muireann rented a campervan'the Buzza' for 10 days.We drove around allot of the North Island creatingas much trouble as possible ansd metloads of pe ople and managed to do some energetic activities too besides extreme swinging in the playground(it's the newest extreme sport) so here are the highlights and lowlights.
Highlights:
bone carving in Whitianga-we each designed our own pendant and carved it out of bone
white water rafting-7m drop!!
CoromandelGold-I have never been so fucked
The Buzza-our campervan
whale rider-really good NZ film
Polynesian Spa in Roturua-thermal spa pools
Powderoom bar+ tha party afterwards in the buzza
Being on Rock fm requesting acdc'it's a meltdown'

Lowlights:
waking up in the morning bursting to pee
digging holes in hotwater beach looking for thermal springs where there was none
watching Charlies angels 2(but didn't pay for it so it was ok)
walking40mins in freezing cold to the "happening" pub only to discover everyone had left an hour beforehand
driving back to Auckland on my own with a wicked hangover

I'm now in Cairns and about to head down the east coast, it should be a laugh.
