New Zealand huts

When you go backpacking (tramping in NZ) if you don't bring a tent you end up staying in these little huts with all sorts of random people who're sleeping, coughing, cooking, snoring, farting and steaming up the windows. It was a completely packed bar with no bartender this night; more than 40 people crammed inside a ridiculously small space and all faced with the impossibility of going outside for fear of being bitten to near death by sandflies. It was not a very pleasant experience and for those of you who may end up on a tramp, I recommend a tent. And if you're an honest person, you put $10 a person in the box per night. What did we do? Ha ha.

A lovely day sitting in the front yard watching the insects and practicing ukulele.

Way too much of this

What's heavier than a mackerel, sits on your front and is carried up and down a ladder all day?

Apples.... If I never saw another one for the rest of my life I certainly wouldn't mind. At the end of the apple season Pete and I picked in excess of 120 tons of those fuckers. But, now we are in Singapore, using free internet at the airport on our way to Bali. No more apples. I am being timed and only have a minute left before I'm logged out, only so I can log back in again and keep using the free-ness. It is SO GOOD to be in SE Asia. So so GOOD.
