Taurunga

Hi! I'm having a great time in New Zealand - taking a while to adjust, people are really welcoming here - well they were until we won the rugby this morning!! I'm in Taurunga at the mo, went out with Tonis' dad and his partner last night, and sang the banana boat song on the karaoke in a local pub for local people - no surprises there!! So bad they asked me up for more! Got out alive. Going to meet some of Toni's friends for lunch, then to an Aunt's tonight. Going up to Gisborne tomorrow to meet her mum, sister, brother and niece! Beaches are fantastic here, and pretty secluded. The food and the service is really good, and the beer's not too bad either!

Bye for now, Owen
