Hello friends. If you come to N.Zed, be careful about the shellfish. I have felt horrible all day because of those mussels last night. I took a hot bath to try and sweat it out. I drank tons of juice and water to try and flush it out. I slept most of the day. And still...
At least it didn't happen tomorrow. I take the Ferry to Waiheke Island. I am going on a tour there and then meeting my first WWOOF host in the afternoon. So I will be there when I turn 25.
Auckland reminds me a bit of Toronto with a few more 3rd world cultural leanings. The down-town is also much like Seattle. I went to the art gallery and the park already, and I have a couple more places to check out when I come back through in April. Hopefully I won't be poisoned by then!
I have enjoyed staying with the Bartles. Their extended family was in town too, so tea-time was great fun. They are all Scottish, and even little Maya Grace Harris (5 yrs. old) had a think accent. I am just glad I was here when I got this icky feeling. Imagine that I wouldn't be about to do farm-work right now.
I will add some pictures when I get near a computer with some more ability.
