Sorry, no photos. We've lost our camera lead.

Gutted.

In NZ now and we're loving it although we're tired today. Auckland is a cool place and people seem very helpful. We've got some wheels now and it feels good to be cruising around. It's going to prove conveniant in NZ as theres so much to see. Yesterday we climbed a mountain (ok, a small hill) drank some NZ merlot and bezzed around some shops and generally found our bearings here in Auckland. It's such a pretty place surrounded by water. (even more today as its raining) We went to the museum today to learn all about Maori culture and history. It was cool and interesting but there were bus loads of schools kids everywhere running riot.

Tomorrow we begin our road trip (Easyrider style) travelling North (after the Liverpool game which is on breakfast time here) for a scenic drive and towards a load of vineyards. Can't wait.

We've also booked tickets for a great Kiwi dub/jazz/soul band called Fat Freddy's Drop in Auckland on June 1st so we've got to come back here for that. have a listen to them at www.myspace.com/fatfreddysdropnz

Rachel Brown - where are you?

Did testing the cows involve really big rubber gloves??! Rachel please don't let Jared drive in NZ - you know the police love to pull over gingers, they're just worth more points!
I should know your remaining schedule but what is it and when are you back?

You're going to see Fat Freddy's Drop??? Ooh, I'm so jealous!! Hope it's a great gig. Salmonella Dub are another good Kiwi band (despite the name...) I've come across. Look out for Hobbits:)
