Well been down here for over 4 weeks and heaps been going on, to much for me to try and remember but alot of fun has been had, enjoying living with the bro Forest again who is still laxing and relaxin as only Forest can. Forests girlyfriend Mel lives with us which is awesome cause she looks after us and the small things like buying toothpaste and washing powder, doing forrys washing, cleaning and stuff. Other bros Wati and Glenis are here to and kicking with them again brings back good memories of making memorys we cant remember in Invercargill during our student days. Met a dude called Dave with a speed boat and spent about 4 days fishing unsuccessfully, swimming and having beers and picnics in sweet as remote spots across the beautiful Lake Wakapitu. Our house is in Frankton which is 6km outta the CBD however we are moving sunday 19th to a better pad with a huge fireplace and big back yard so really looking forward to that. Freighted the scooter down so been boosting around town on her and getting heaps of looks (im sure everyones just jealous). Have scored myself two jobs, one is full time at the Post Office down here as a postman in the mornings and a Mail Officer in the afternoons, which is a fancy name for sorting mail, helping couriers, finding parcels dude and the 2nd is night times at a really nice bar/resturant Dux de Lux in the kitchen making pizzas, salads and helping out the chefs. Everyone down here is really cool and it feels alot like other touristy spots like Banff, Tamarindo or Newquay with all the tourism, clubs and foreigners. Next blog ill post some Posty and Dux de Lux photos, plus some of our sweet new house, i cant wait, take care everyone, miss you all..
