today started badly when the rooster had an early start, 3am to be precise, this time it was not funny, especially after the hottest night ever. he carried on until 5.30-6ish, when we had to get up anyway as we planned to start work at 7am because of the heat. after 2 hours of hard work we came back n had brekkie. later in the day we went to visit some of Ken n Sandy's friends on another farm. we met a Mauri fella who could drink beer with the best of em'. as it was 36degrees we lay about and did as little as possible. our last meal consisted of steak, chops and.....kangaroo, which was suprisingly tasty, a wonderful send off from our wonderful hosts. we chilled n watched bruce almighty before collapsing into bed.
