Heading South…. Sort of…..
Wednesday, a girl from Findland and Louise from Australia
and I took the Ferry to Russell from Pahia, to explore the small beautiful
peninsular. It was rainy again,
but we wandered the small village, hiked up to FlagStaff and had some cocktails
in a gorgeous hotel patio beach side. Took it easy and enjoyed getting to know a little
about history and politics of other countries and how they view Americans and
our country. I’ve never really
gotten first hand feedback about how others view the States and it was good to
learn and see it from their eyes.
At our hostel I met another American, Shelby, since
traveling. She is from Durango
Colorado and is traveling alone as well.
We spoke flannel and granola and then drove back to Auckland
together. Each staying the night
at our respective houses, we met for lunch today in downtown Auckland for a
good Thai meal. Choosing the
restaurant because my friend Robbie’s brother Mike works there. It was nice to have real food after
eating eggs, fruit, and nuts for 5 days and it was real good to have
conversations with friends from home. I am now sitting in Hamilton, deciding where to go
tomorrow.
