A brief





Hello hello, sorry again for the absence. So we landed in Wellington and spent a great time with Hannah, but she had to go back to work, so we took off again and made our our way to Napier, aka heart of Hawkes Bay Wine Country.
So we wanted to make a few bucks and pick fruit for a few days, but the cost of the visa was way more than we could have taken in the course of a few days. Anyways, I had a super cold, so I passed on tasting any wine, but the Ninster shocked all of Hawkes Bay with her super wine knowledge, knowhows, and knowwhatnots. So after two nights in Napier (NZ's art deco capitol) we moved back to Paraparaumu. We found a great hostel to camp out at and cook macaroni and cheese (and for me to try to recover and breathe out of my nose).......(actually this hostel had the nicest hostess yet-right before we checked in she was bringing a fellow sick hostel occupent to the doctor. She did not have to bring me.) Anyways, we had a great time, had some great ice cream (two times, it was that good), and finally made ourselves some deli sandwiches (dying for a turkey sandwich.....sliced chicked made due). Now we've arrived back in Wellington with Hannah, had a great roast chicken dinner, and we're up again early tomorrow to go to Mt Ruapehu. We'll check in soon. Till then, enjoy the fresh deli sandwiches in the states.
