WHAT a PLAYER one of the best flatmates i've ever had we became such good buddies in only 3 months.Miss him and Pascal heaps and stefan too. the german boys were such a good time when they were here now things are very very dull in the flat we need them to come back to NZ and have fun with us http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Auckland/blog-8315.html Well I went away fishing with my friends Wes and Scott for 4 days over fall break. as the weather is turning colder we decided to try and do some late season trout fishing down at Lake Waikeremoana which is about 45 hours southeast of Auckland in the Te Urewera National Park. We ended up doing a 'luge' or alpine slide in Rotorua on the way down and wes and scott thought it was funny to run http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Auckland/blog-8236.html
