So today i went on a big bike ride down to the Huka Falls and across the Waikato river tot the Craters of the Moon. The Huka Falls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huka_Falls) was the location of a murder that supposedly lost New Zealand its innocence. In February 1989, the month i was born a Cricket Umpire's body was found bound and gagged floating down stream of the falls.

Hey am in Taupo fo a few days to sort out where I'm off to next. Nice hostel, not so nice weather at the mo. Was going to do Bungy here, but gonna leave it for the mo and might do a big thing later in my trip where you do Bungy, Skydiving, a jet boat and a helicopter ride all together.

Heylo people! I haven't been up to much here in Hamilton, just catching up with rellies and doing a bit of shopping for things i need for my trip. Have however found out that they knew about my visit and very kindly named a street after me.
