haha Most comical indeed, for is it not said: “thou shallt laugh till thou bringest up phlegm.”
my coffers my be a bit depleted but its nothing a few years at the pepper factory won’t fix.

the countdown continues, most distressing leaving annika to fend for herself in this cold and hostile land. oh well, all flesh is as grass.

bwahaha!! tan you are such a craven wormling, scared of a few small leeches and snakes. pah, i say and chah for good messure.

thanks for the e-mail mama, if you are looking for something to do you could have a crack at cleaning the shelves in my room and chucking away all the small clothes i will never wear again. that should acupy you for at least a month. a more fun thing wopuld be to do a spot of painting!

the pics: top: annika on the right, caroline on the far right, dipti on the left and our vast catch of fish in the centre. now that you mention it dipti’s shorts did remind me of something.

mid top: thrane isrealis. hanet in the center is the one i know quite well, she was very nice. that is the jolly coke machine at hone heke and beyond is the microscopic kitchen.

mid bottom: aha! guto, the funiest brazilian i have ever met. his classy turn of frase endeared him to one and all.

bottom: from left to right takoya of beach misadventure fame, sam son of shane, and some guy i don’t recall the name of.

still in napier, quite a nice town, almost as nice as nelson in fact. yesterday we did very little, and in fact we haven’t done much today iether, which is all to the good.

thanks for the e-mail also mama, rest assured i read your corrispondance, but usally after i have blogged.

last night we went to the world famous napier solstice fire festival on the green near our hostel. much fun, involving such delights such as a opera singing comedian who presented the show, a fire pod from a hot air balloon, flaming poys(fire chians wirled about the head.) a rather jolly rock band called double scotch who had the novel idea of encorperating bagpipes into a rock band. music was a bit crap but it was fun seeing them prancing about in there kilts and playing on a set of electric bagpipes of all bizzare things. the was also some cook island drummers, and some hot salsa dancing which i think mama would have enjoyed, many prancing and chest jutting blokes with oiled hair frolicking with dusky snake impresionists. then there fire works, quite impressive really, and a massive bonfire which we sat around until late. good stuff.

hail. i picked up bonfire of the vanities from some random place in south island, what seems like years ago. but i left it by mistake. most annoying as it looked good. did the the pat on the back feel as good as a crisp fiver? that is the question!

pics, top: don’t recall recomending this one, hone heke again, bluey the van on the left. mid: some dolphins suprisingly, in milford sound. bottom: massive water fall in milford sound.
