I'm traveling through New Zealand for 3 months alone. I'll be on both the North Island, and South Island. And plan to post here when I can.

Typewriter Tip Tip Tip

We have had a crazy last few weeks. Last you heard we finished climbing the volcano. We then started hitching north. By the end up the day we got a really amazing ride where the guy took us to a fancy restaurant and bought us a huge dinner with gourmet dessert included. That night, and the following, we found hot springs to sleep by. Woke up every mourning to a relaxing hot pool. then started to head to Northland. This whole post is going to be very very sparse due to time restraints. Zach and I have been getting around the past week by just hitching and seeing where we end up. Picking a direction on going. We've ended up in some amazing and some crazy places. No time for all the stories, but the best was we got to a town, where we still don't have a full idea on where it is, when it was raining unbelievably hard and were forced to skip on our usual sleeping outside, to find a place to sleep. This town was so out of the way and so small there was no hostel. The place we ended up sleeping was the most ramshackle place ever. It was basically a bar with a few rooms above it. The room we got had peeling wallpaper, no table, a bunch of crates, and broken beds. We got fish and chips from a small shop and went back to the room to eat. It was one of the funniest scenes I've seen. Zach and I were sitting in who knows where, eating food that was wrapped in news paper on a table we made from the crates while listing to old crackly russian and indian music on some cheap speakers Faye and Julian gave us. It was the best ever. We were laughing the whole night. It felt like we were in eastern Europe. A few days later we were on the very very tip on the north watching the Pacific Ocean clash with the Tasmin Sea. Both bodies of water flowing against each other creating a chaos of waves in every direction. Breathtaking.
Now we are nearing the end of our journey. We are trying to find a place that has a piano that we can stay at for a week and just write music and relax. We've been hitching for 2 weeks straight and its quite exhausting.

Photos will be posted next time.

nooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
