On My Way

I am finally on my way! I have left Christchurch after spending another 2 nights with Angela and Ian. I am now in Kaikoura again for the night. Then Wellington for the 31st, and Taupo for the 1-3rd or possibly just the night. It all depends on the weather for Taupo. I would love to do the Tongariri Crossing which is an 8hr hike but I don't know if the blisters on my tender toes would appreciate another full day in runners. So we shall see. If I don't stay in Taupo due to poopy weather then I will be back in Auckland on the 2nd. That wouldn't be too bad I just don't know what I want to do quite yet.

I left my pals yet again and it breaks my heart a little more each time. I am so looking forward to not leaving people and making new friends that I can actually have constantly in my life!

So excited to come home and see everyone and call everyone and just be HOME!!

Much love and if anyone wants to come visit that's cool. I'll be home from April 13 - May 15 and would LOVE to see you!!

Heres a Maori legend:
This little man was taken in my the water god and was given god-like powers. He has brothers who he wanted to go back and meet and when he did they didn't like him cause he was more god-like then them. He his in the fishing boat and when the 2 brothers were too far out to sea he popped up and said "Kia ora!" then he used his special powers and caught heaps of fish and his brothers caught none. He caught so many fish the canoe was tipped on its side. He caught one more and it was the biggest fish he'd ever seen. He played with it for so long and it was so strong it drug the boat all over. The one bro threw in the anchor cause he was Sao scared. When he pulled it up he said woah woah woah this fish is cursed. Let me go get the priest and he can uncurse this fish before we kill it. He told them to not touch it till he era back cause he was Michael felps in the water and would be back fast. As soon as he was gone the brothers started hacking at the fish till it eventually died. There was blood and flesh flyin everywhere. Now the legend goes that the north island is the fish and it's sharp and rugged and still spurts blood from time to time. (volcano) and the south is the canoe which has the alps cause the canoe was tipped on its side from the fish. The anchor is Stewart island at the bottom of the south and thus NZ is formed! The bus driver just told us that and he did a much better story time then me but hey I paraphrased the shit outta that story!
