PICTURES YEEEAH

k so
these are in no particular order
but i am feeling really dedicated so i am even gonna put captions (ooo ahhh)
and i just read a sign (after uploading all these pics to this computer) that says "uploading more than 20 megabytes of photos will incur an extra charge of 10 cents per megabyte"
and i have no idea how big a megabyte is
so it is entirely possible that i'm gonna walk outta this internet cafe in about 20 minutes and owe the guy with the big glasses and the mumbly accent that i can't understand to save my life my first born child
lets hope not
k here goes:
this is a random sampling of pics from the past 5.5 weeks



me simming in the little river down the path from the house where we wwoofed - it was straight outta the lord of the rings - so awesome



me and mim sittin part way up the north head in davenport... i am pretty sure that i'm only pointing for effect ... otherwise i probly woulda taken a picture of whatever was so cool that i felt the need to point at it



somewhere along the East Cape drive... this is one of about a billion pictures that i took from the car while mim drove... most of them are pretty lame but this one is cool... also, please note that this highway is the craziest highway ever and there are parts where it is only ONE LANE (as in, only one lane... not one lane for each direction of traffic... but just ONE LANE) and the speed limit doesn't actually officially go down from 100



sunset in Whitianga



Buffalo beach in whitianga... our hostel was right on this beach... and there was this big window right in front of our beds... so when we woke up, this is exactly what we were looking at (cept from higher up and a lil further back)



we are so mature (at Cape Reinga)



kayaking in Paihia
(again with the maturity)



our very own farm house... please note the ugly red granny car in from of it because I OWN THAT!!! YEEEEEEAHHH!!! THAT IS MY CAR!!!! WOOT WOOT



the "historic Tolaga Bay wharf"... somewhere along the east cape drive... it is the longest wharf in the world... or nz.... or something.... it was cool... and i think that it should be used for the next ANTM finale runway.... oh yeeeah



somewhere along the little 25km dirt road to the east cape lighthouse



me! in my car! not driving.
but instead, being very adult.
and taking pictures of myself in the mirror.
yup.



sunrise from hicks bay (very close to east cape - which is the "eastermost place in the world"... as in... closest to the dateline... as in, the first place where the sun rises)(had we been more hardcore (and not totally running out of gas in the middle of nothing where the closest gas pump is only open on like alternate saturdays and cost $1.70/L), we woulda actually driven to the east cape to watch the sunrise)



me and mim near huka falls
please note my snazzy yellow hairband that i got ON SALE for only two dollars and i think it makes me look like a local
yeeeeah!


k i have nothing left to say
we leave Taupo and head to Rotarua tomorrow
then more Wwoofing! (but at a place with animals and kids... instead of old people and gardens.... should be interesting)

ciao
