News flash

Couldn't get hold of James all yesterday and started to get very worried, with visions of him and his hire car wrapped around some lamp-post (or lamb-post seeing as this is NZ). Got an email from him last night though to say he had a nightmare and was in Rotorua. Managed to leave his phone in the room in Auckland, had little sleep and a grumpy scenery-less trip into hell. Rotorua is notoriously grim and a little rough around the edges esp at night. It's a tourist detination however because of its proximity to the thermally active regions. But that makes it stink like rotten eggs too! Ha ha! Poor Jimmy. He's been in Taupo today though and is feeling a bit better. Just can't wait to have him here tomorrow! x
