Today I did an 8 hour hike on the Franz Josef glacier...fooking amazing! My legs are jelly but it was SO worth it...and tomorrow I get to Wanaka! chyeea!

Just found out that the place that was being held for me in Wanaka was given away to someone else earlier this week, so I'm back to square one. Looks like its going to be tough to find something half decent for a good price! So if anyone knows of something, let me know! =D

Snowpark is open on Thursday and Canada Day is on Saturday...and hopefully Friday I'll be riding in the 'Expression Session' rail (?) comp at Coronet Peak in Queenstown!

Sweet as bro!

so i'm staying at my friend Maia's house for the weekend, because Mt.Ruapehu (aka Mt.Doom in Lord of the Rings) is set to open for riding tomorrow! We've all got our fingers crossed for good weather. Then I'm heading down south again...it'll take me another 8 days to get down to Wanaka on the Kiwi bus, just in time to jump over to Queenstown for the winter festival! woot woot! i'm going to try and ride the Night Rail Jam, but I think it's invite only. I'll have to find out soon.

YAY SNOW!!!

P.S. bungy jumping and skydiving were AWESOME!!!

Kiwi Experience!

Sunday, June 04, 2006

Just a short note to say that in about 10 hours, (which would make it 7:30am on Monday NZ time) I'll be jumping on a bus to head on a Kiwi Experience bus tour for 2-3 weeks! Who knows how often I'll be able to update this blog while I'm on the road, but look forward to some AMAZING landscape photos and stories! WOO HOO!

check out: www.kiwiexperience.com - I'm taking the Zephyr tour and the Bottom Bus tour, too.

Holla!

City of Sails

So right now I'm in Auckland, the most populated city in New Zealand. FINALLY! muahaha

I think I've finally gotten used to the time change, since I slept for 5 hours yesterday afternoon, and for a ton more hours last night. My next plan is to get a bus heading to Queenstown on Sunday, and it'll probably take over a day to get there. But at least I'll get to see more than I would if I was on a plane!

I'm really indecisive about what to do today, there's lots to do here, but I keep trying to stay awake from anything TOO touristy...but really, I should just accept that I AM a tourist, and do whatever the hell I want...right? =D

I met a really cool graf artist/gallery owner named Andres while wandering around downtown San Francisco, and Shepard Fairey (OBEY) just had an exhibit at his gallery last month. Andres showed me a bunch of art in the storage areas of the gallery, like some original OBEY works and also some of his. DOPE shi*t that's for sure. We hit it off and he got me into a couple bars (since I'm underaged in the US) and I kicked his ass at pool. haha. He showed me around town and we had a super fun time. yea yea!

So now I'm off to wander the city and find some fun. It's too hilly here so I can't skate. Boo!
