Day 11 - Tauranga

Another fine sunny day in Kiwiland.

Just checked with Google Earth to see how far me and Aidan walked the other day to get into town. The route we took was about 5 miles. Not bad for the peerie fellow considering he was wearing new shoes as weel.

The essy-kert men dropped aff wir bruck and recycle bins da day. $200-odd dollars a year for the privilege of dumping stuff. This whole recycling thing is a bit of a challenge. Luckily they have sent me three leaflets now (all the same), explaining what and how to recycle. Perhaps sending me just one leaflet would have been slightly better for the environment but never mind (I have since recycled the extra two).


Managed to get Skype fired up today, so any of you that want to get in touch, head over to Skype.com, download Skype and set up an account (free). Once you have done that you can click on the button below to add me to your list of contacts.



Went for a run to McLaren Falls today, just outside Tauranga (Picture: McLaren Falls). Always a good idea for someone to put up a sign to remind you that you could die if you jump off a bridge (Pictured).



After that, took a run up the road to the park nearby. One of the ducks seemed to take a liking for me. Followed me everywhere, I'm not sure if I had some crumbs stuck in my facial hair or ganzie or something. Contemplated roast duck for tea before deciding that I would maybe let the wee guy live to see another day (Picture: My little duck friend).



Really wishing I had more time at the moment to be out and about taking photos. Managed to get a few today but would rather have had a lot more time to snap away.


That's all for now, let's see what tomorrow brings. Toodaloo.
