Keeping it Real

Following my daring deeds in the rapids, I headed up to Auckland to see my real life Kiwi friend. We took a quick tour of the city and here is the view from the top of volcanic Mount Eden, which threatens to explode like North Korea at any moment.

You will notice the Sky Tower in the centre of the shot as it is the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere. I reckon its designer was compensating for something but there's little proof to support my wondrous theory.

After the tour, we took a trip to the Coromandel with her friends who were keen to play some international drinking games. The ensuing game of left handed boulles became pretty competitive and the tape measure was out more than an English batsman in a one day test.


I'm still not sure why somebody was so interested in who had won, though. Her ball was still rolling a long way behind those trees in the distance!


After the score became really fuzzy, we had a look around the Coromandel coastline and it was obvious why New Zealanders love coming here. It's nicer than a lollipop on a big stick and it's even got rocks that look like whales.


Even though the water could only be described as "chilly", there was just enough time for a quick paddle in the big blue thing. I ventured out as far as my Knees but turned back as I figured Auckland didn't need another tall tower.
