Day 10 just a day Another nice sunny day today, though clouds rolled in and it got windy and a bit chilly today, but all in all a nice day. NZ weather is really odd. I left Collingwood(the golden bay) Which btw, was not very golden at all, I was expecting a gold sandy awesome epic beach, and got none. There was however a side trip north I was told to take to a place called Farewell spit. I got as close as I could to said spit, but could go no further, it was b...

Day 9 The search for the ring, and those damn Hells Angels I woke up this morning in Wellington, NZ and needed to haul ass to catch the big ferry to the south island.

I got rained on, but only for about 30 mins, then it cleared again to blue skies with some clouds. weird. It got a bit chilly today, but then when I arrived at Lake Taupo, it got warmer, then hot, then really h...

Day 6 The "not so" Mystical east cape. Woke up to another beautiful sunny day, A bit cloudy but not bad at all. Today we ride the Mystical east cape around to the cool surfing town of Gisborne. Things George has noticed about NZ (part 1) There are SO many very cool trees here in NZ, also weird birds that I have never seen before. Though one thing that strikes me odd is...
