Movember

Yesterday there was a movember event at the local primary school.
Movember is a charity thing for cancer where you play sports to raise money.
All the dudes grow big mustaches at through November then shave them off at the end.

Anywho it was a five-a-side football thing so obviously Dan was down and another Daniel and two dutch girls from our hostel came along, they then adopted two other dudes for their team, Hugo and Richard.

There were about 7 teams or so and everyone played each other and then winner was the one with the most goals.
"Pickled Parrot" as the team was named won two games, lost two games and drew two games. They didn't win but it was all a bit of fun anywho. Had a good afternoon and got to hear lots of stories about peoples travels etc.

Our hostel is our favourite, we've made some cool friends and they have awesome dogs and its so chilled and clean etc.

This is noodle.. shes my favourite :)

Cheers for reading x

Bay Of Islands baabbyyy

I hear snow's arrived in Leicester but sun has arrived in Paihia baby :)

We've moved up north to Paihia in the Bay Of Islands and temperatures are going up!
Sunburn is peeling to make way for stronger more sun resistant and tan welcoming skin (or so I hope)

We're staying at Pickled Parrot Backpackers hostel which is awesome!

We got put in a room for just the two of us kos the six bed dorm was over booked and we get to stay in it for two weeks without paying the extra wayyyheyyy :D good times.
 No snory jew or platform bitch to annoy me late at night or early morning.

The weather here is gorgeous! Theres free bikes aswell at our hostel so we cycled to countdown (supermarket) to get supplies, I cycled for the first time on a road, it was scary haaaa.

Are you jealous?
I would be if I were you!

Update on my sunburn... It's a well nice brown colour aswell but its just peeling off to make way for more pale skin haha.
Typical.


In other news, I waxed Dan's personal hair so he could get a further taste of female life.. Not so funny for him but hilarious for me, picture on facebook of the wax strip because I can only upload two pictures now.
Improvement wooohoo!

We've made plans for dolphins swimming and bike riding and walking and stuff so should be a good couple of weeks, I'll let you know how it goes xxx

frieeeeeeends

Yesterday was chilling day after crazy sunburn and loads of walking and so I'll use this update to tell you about the people we have met here in Auckland...

1) Loud Smelly Tie-dye German
Loud smelly tie-dye german is a fellow dorm mate of ours, as you may of guessed he is very loud. Example; MOVIE NIGHT - clearly about 15 people are sat down to watch toy story 3 and german dredlock man comes over and starts talking very loudly (in german) it seems he cant speak without being really loud. Last night I was trying to sleep and I could here him from THE FLOOR BELOW!
He also smells really bad, I almost vomitted this morning when he walked past me to make eggs.
He wears tie-dye clothes and is annoying.

2) Eddie and Kim
We were invited to play monopoly last night with Eddie and his girlfriend Kim after our shambles game of scrabble (none of the words we used were actually words and Dan spelt faint "Fiant")
They are normal people, we havent met many normal people so that was nice, Eddie is from NZ and Kim is from South Africa and they've just finished a 4 week holiday around the north island, n'awwww

3) Snory Jew
Snory Jew or "Alan" as he likes to be called is located in bed number 8, above mine. He snores in his sleep alot and sounds like darth vader, one night he even woke himself up. To refer to previous blog posts he is "annoying girls" american bitch. I discovered on over hearing a conversation that he is jewish.
Dan is not a huge fan of the jews.
Furthermore snory jew owns a box of 12 eggs (it only has two remaining eggs but has space for 12) but the packet has "6 fresh eggs" on it :/ I cannot understand. I was trying to get a picture but failed as he has moved them!

4) Platform Bitch
Platrom bitch is the annoying rude inconsiderate italian I wrote about before but has now been named platfrom bitch due to this...

(PICTURE OF PLATFORM SHOES)

I can't get the picture to upload :( check it on facebook though, she has stupid platform shoes.
We were taking a nap earlier and she came in and clearly saw us napping yet still slammed the door on her exit!
How rude.




In other news, we went up the sky tower today got some awesome views up there.
Theres glass on the floor aswell which is wrank!
Take a look at the pictures on facebook ;)

raaaaaaaaaaangitoto!!!

We went to rangitoto today!
I've been excited about it since before we even left home, its a volcano just 15 mins away by ferry.
We climbed to the summit and went in the lava caves and then back down again and down the coast, it was the best thing we've done since we got here.
But I'm well sunburnt like you wouldnt believe, even my forearms! It's usually well hard for forearms to burn dontcha think?!
Anyway yeah now I look like a cranberry but it was so worth it. I'd buy some suncream or aftersun but I've only got $10 to last me till friday and thats going on dominoes pizza tomorrow night haha pizza wins over pain!

Heres the lava caves.. (im picking the best picture kos I can always only put one)


You can't tell but it was pitch black at some points, if I was having a bad day I would of broke my ankle.

Check the rest of the pictures on facebook xx

Auckland

We've been in the city a week now and to be honest we're running out of things to do, we've been cinema twice in a week haha!
Harry Potter was good though :)

We went on some random long walk this morning to find hobson bay but we never found it so we went KFC and it rained haha got some good pictures of the skyline though but the clouds sucked :(



Arghh it's doing it again! Only letting me put one picture up, how ridiculous!

Anyway in other news we've left the hotel and moved into "frienz" (thats how its spelt) backpackers hostel. Where we're sharing a room with 12 other people, yoooommm!
Its not so bad really apart from the beds are well noisy and I move around alot haha.
People are generally good and not noisy apart from this one girl.
She's adopted some american dude to be her little bitch and shes well rude and inconsiderate.
For example she asked me for the time so I said "12.15" and she looked at me with a disgusted face like it was my fault the time wasn't to her liking and then spat out a thank you about 20 seconds after.
BITTTCH
xx

Me and Dan made faces at her behind her back though so its ok :)
