Well we certainly eat like kings here. Since i've been here we have had bbq potlucks. giant roasts, soups. Curry, and pizza night tonight. Absolutely amazing. So we caught the rooster and his bitcj finally after like 5 days. I snagged it in a mad lunge wiht a trout net. Bu t sorta running the hostel in the day and landscaping wiht gian t rocks. Huge storm last night wiht ton s of hail. My main project right now is a beer bottle chandelier monted on a hexogonal frame. It will be primo. REally enjoying i t here. And love the idea of lending my skills to make this place nicer. I aint no painter but I can do wonders with a chisel. But great times with great people. Henry adn me have been jamming and I'm even picking up lots of mandolin. Mad hackie sac everyday. hoping to hike mount stormy in a couple of days. Then eading to Australia. The trip is winding down. Any least I am. Compared to Europe I have had a couple of drops of alocohol here in NZ. REAlly chill here. But hope everyone is good and send me some emails. All i'm getting are stupid junk mail. But all is well In Karamea.

The net blows here so I"m lacking pics.

Hi Sean
Hi how are you? we are doing great. Just received confirmation about our 2 weeks in Florida at Christmas. We have a time share one week in Punta Gorda and the other week is in Sarasota. Looking forward to going somewhere hot and sunny (keep your fingers crossed for us). The boys are hoping to take a friend with us but do not know if any of Blake;s friends will be able to go. It is raining here now and over the next few days they are calling for snow, yuk hard to believe. Manitoba received a lot of snow and up in Thunder Bay they got snow there yesterday. Hopefully it will miss us. Curling is going to be starting soon and the boys are each playing indoor soccer. I will book our ski passes this week and will talk yur mother thru yurs we will use your last year picture okay. glad you are having such a great time we are really looking forward to seeing you. maybe when you get home you and your parents could come over for a visit. your mom will need some down time late jan. we can all look after her. take care Sean Love Aunt Mic

Wickler!
Did I mention how much I envy you? Dave and I still read your blogs religiously! We are looking forward to having you over upon your return. Man, time is sure flying flast. I don't think I need to tell you to cherish every moment. You are living proof of that, my dear! Keep safe, Sean. Karen

Hey Bro, Loved the Rongo Blog and the photos, we plan to wire the chandelier today as a chap called James (also a Canuck) came off the Wangapeka Track yesterday and happens to be an electrician...I'm blessed Man! Glad to hear you survived Nimbin...I thought you may get locked in there for the rest of your life. Have big fun in in Terra Australis, watch out for those bloody Aussies, you can't trust the buggers! Out and Over, DJ Crap
