Get your motor running....

Head out on the highway!

Hello, Just got back to Auckland after a few legendary days. Since leaving Piahia and the lovely Beach (where they filmed Endless Summer - did I mention that?!?) Nick and I drove on Ninety-mile beach (yes actually on the beach) it was great fun sitting in this little VW Golf zooming up the beach - the highlight of that adventure came when we realised after about 60Km that the only way off the beach was to drive up this little river/creek and then through the sand dunes.... we made it utilising a constant optimism in the face of 2 foot drops and deep river bits.... Then we headed on to one of the forrest national parks where (after arriving late and in total darkness) we managed to find the log cabin I had booked and get some well earned sleep!!! The cabin was another highlight being, and I quote, 'spacious but very spartan' now that I have fully come to realise how spartan a cabin can be I am grateful for my seemingly luxurious dorm room back in Auckland. Last night Chris and Becs, Nick and I all went out to the harbour bars in Auckland and had a great time strutting our moves to the sounds of the Vengaboys and Ricky Martin - It felt like we had gone back in time to school discos in '97! Anyway have to go for a shop to get my supplies to last me the next two weeks on a silly amount of cash!!! Watch this space for the 'Support Ashley' charity campaign.

See you all soon.... Bye!
