Hej hej,

Inte langt kvar nu, pa lordag aker vi.
Sa igar tog jag bussen till Mt Maunganui for att antligen ta mig upp pa toppen (232 m tror jag). Vadret va bra, blaste lite svala vindar vilket va skont. Sa jag borjade ga och forsta biten va ratt skon, fin utsikt och lite skugga. Sen jaklar blev det brant och skuggan forsvann, holl pa att smalla av! Tur att jag tog med mig vattenflaska. Traffade massor av muppar som va ute och sprang upp och ner for berget. Helt galet! Jag ar helt for att trana och halla sig i form, men det finns en grans.
Naja efter ca 30-40 min va jag antligen pa toppen (da hade jag aven stannat ett par ganger for att fota och andas). skitfin utsikt. Satt dar uppe ett tag och bara njot! Underbart.

Sen va det dags att ga ner, tog en annan vag ner, den var oxa valdigt brant och en massa trappor, men gick igenom lite skog sa fick lite skugga. Mycket skonare att goa nerfor maste jag saga :)
Har lite traningsvark idag, speciellt i rumpan, fy satan! Men det var det vart!

Idag haller jag pa att fixa det sista, ska ju skicka hem lite saker, sa ringde UPS imorse och bokade det och for en stund sen kom en kille for att hamta mitt paket. Muppar, jag bokade det ju for imorrn. Bast for honom att han kommer imorrn.
Ikvall ska vi ata middag pa "min" restaurang, ska bli saaa gott! Antligen ska jag fa ata maten jag har serverat sa manga ganger :)

Ah just det, vi har bokat en campervan oxa, holl pa att ga at skogen. Jag ringde for att boka den, fick prata med en valdigt otrevlig fransman och det fanns ingen campervan kvar! Sa ringde alla andra oxa och blev lite stressad. Vi kunde fa en campervan den forsta veckan och de sista 10 dagarna men Pask-veckan verkade vara kord. Jakla Pask! Sa satt dar med min karta och rutten och efter mycket om och men sa bestamde vi oss for att ta den campervanen, och andra rutten. Sa jag ringde igen, fick prata med en trevlig tjej den har gangen, sa jag fragade om vi kunde fa en campervan for dom datumen vi ville fran borjan och dom hade en!! Vet inte om fransmannen ljog eller va dum i huvet men gud va glad jag blev. Sa vi fick den campervanen vi ville och for hela perioden! Sa jag firade med en drink och lite chips :)

Ska bli sa kul!

Hi all!

Not long to go now, on Saturday we're off!

So yesterday I took the bus to Mt Maunganui to finally climb/walk to the top (761 feet). It started out well, nice view nice walk but then it got really steep and not a lot of shade and it was a hot day. Thank god I had some water with me. I met quite a few people who were out running, up and down the hill, insane people. I mean I'm all for keeping fit and stuff but there's a limit!
Anyway, after about 30-40 min I finally made it (I stopped a few times to take some pics and to breathe). Really nice view! I sat up there for a while and just enjoyed the view and life, all is good :)

Then it was time to get down, also a steep walk, a lot of steps, but some of the walk was through the forest so it was shaded which was nice. A lot nicer to walk down the mountain than up I have to say.
I am a bit sore today especially my bum, bloody hell I tell you! But it was worth it!

Today I'm jsut sorting the final stuff before we leave. I've booked UPS to send some stuff home and they showed up a little while ago, a day early!! I told them tomorrow! He better come back tomorrow. Muppets.
Tonight we're having dinner at "my" restaurant, it's gonna be so nice to finally taste the food which I have been serving so many times.

Oh yeah we've booked the campervan and that was such a nightmare! I called ExploreMore to book it and got to speak to a very rude French dude who told me he didn't have anything for me. He could maybe get us something for the first week and then for the last 10 days, but everything was booked for Easter. Damn Easter!
So called lots of other places but they were quite expensive or they didn't have any (thanks to Easter) so I had a look at my map and the route and tried to work it out ans we decided to get the first week and the last 10 days and work our way around it so called them back. This time I got to speak to a very nice girl, so I asked if they had a campervan for the whole period and they did!! Not sure if the French dude was lying or if he was just stupid but I was just so happy we got the campervan! Wohoooo!!! So I celebrated with a drink and some crisps :)

Can't wait!!
