Day 3 (everytime I write something like "Day 3", im saying it in the voice of the guy who does the big brother voice overs, just incase anybody wondered). So, Day 3 (there i go again) was a quiet day on the Nicola and Chris World Tour. It involved a trip to a town called Russel and with a name like that its bound to be rather drab and lacking in personality. On returning from Russel we adjorned to the hostel common room for some Earl Grey and shortbreads. We soon realised that we'd need to set a limit on the shortbreads, that limit was and still is 5. The Sixth Sense was in progress and Nicola sat down to watch. I kept trying to get her attention so I could make a gesture that would give away the end of the film but she was too engrossed to look away. It was lucky for my safety that she didn't look cause it turns out that she hadn't seen the film before...phew. After our 3rd romantic meal out for 2 it was back to the hostel, this time it was different as our dorm room has been invaded by 3 others. The last thing I remember, it was just myself and Nicola in the room. I was busy writing a postcard to nobody in particular and I must have drifted off to sleep because I woke up sometime later to see some guy standing up in his pants about to climb into HIS bed and all the other beds full with asleep people. Its not my chosen sight to be woken upto but im on tour and CRAZY THINGS DO HAPPEN. Day 4 saw us go on a day trip to Cape Reinga via the 90 mile beach. Question for Ricky P - Why is the 90 mile beach called so when its only 64 miles long? Ill give you a clue, its the same answer as to the question "why do so many people watch Eastenders?" and "why does Tim Westwood talk like he does?". The tour lasted pretty much all day and it was the best part of a 2 hour each way journey to get there as well. The tour guide was a Moari fellow who sang us charming songs acapella throughout the trip. This wasn't really to our tastes so I wacked the ipod on and Nicola promptly slept for 90% of the ride. She paid 40 dollars for those 40 winks, thats like a buck a wink, she's been had. A slight bone of contention (snigger) has been my habit of singing along to songs sung by females in my best female voice possible. Nicola doesn't think this its right, I think its perfectly normal and she is secretly jealous that I can sing like a female better than she can.
