Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty And Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand
A quick drive north from Taupo took us to Rotorua, the next town on our route where we immediately decided that another night in the van could kill us, and found a hostel right in the centre of town. After a ritual degreasing ceremony we were ready to explore! Sadly our adventurous spirits only got us as far as the park across the road. Typ…

After a brief drive North East we arrived at Hawkes bay, Napier- the main city in the bay. On the drive up we were optimistic, as the Vineyard rich bay boasted the most sunshine on the east co…

I thought that I would write one of world famous blogs not too long this time - as I know I bore certain Individuals!
firstly apologies for the lack of blogs. Work has been full on with working with a bunch of Muppets from the New york office then I went on holiday to the land of cheap booze and women!
No not Orpington high street on a friday night, but Sunny Beach Bulgaria where my summer residence is! Firstly guys, Lizard and the boys from the band say hello - and when are you coming over again to get p***** up and pull those Scandinavian birds again?
Also a message for illen here, I bumped into that taxis driver who stitched you up for 100 levs for that 5 min journey, hes was asking when you are coming over next as he now wants to send his 2nd daughter off to university!
We (becca and snunk) went to see the mighty rams yesterday at spurs (yes away) Great game, we were down 3-nil by the 10th minute! We sang for 90 mins though! We Sang the good old away songs though -
s*** fans, no ground,
ur so s*** you play like Arsenal
and my favorite.......
da, da, da, ,da, f***** useless! (that's when they scored there 4th)
Arun, went to the house for the weekend. At last your parents have made some great changes to the house, Hot tub in the garden, mini bar with stella on tap in the lounge,
and my favorite, they have turned your old bedroom into a massage parlor!
There's a deal on this week - buy 10 indian head massages, get a free chicken balti take away free!!! No Serious Arun the house now is unrecognizable -hope you like it!
I hear from a good source that you have been spending alot of time with Americans on the greyhound bus service? I guess that if you have travelled across America on these buses, you have heard about everyone's life story from most people you have spoken to, and most Americans will ask you if you know the queen or know of someone they have blogged with on the net, who lives in a small town called London?
hang in there, nearly home, if you make it to NYC my top tip to eat is a place called katz - down on the lower east side (little Italy) they filmed the orgasm scene in there for "when harry met sally" the pastrami sandwiches - you get about 2kg of meat!!!
hope you see you soon

Hi guys I hope you are enjoying Fiji, think of us poor b*****s freezing are arses off in the van, while you're partying the days away.
Hope you had a kiss ass birthday Arun, bet the hotel is fantastic and slightly more spacious than the van!
Hope the ruggers game was awesome and we won't tell anyone you ended up in an Auckland gay bar!
Hope you have a fantastic time in Fiji and the USA, if the cash situation gets desperate Arun can always pimp Dave and Alex out.
Hopefully see you guys back in jolly ol'England, it was really nice bumping into you like that, what were the odds!!
All the best
