Exciting! Are you doing the whole country or a specific part?
Got a mate popping over from Australia so meeting up with another mate in Auckland we will do some rubber necking around Auckland then heading down to Ohakune to spend a few nights around Tongariro. Then back up to Auckland to fly down to Christchurch. In the South Island We will probably do some day walks in Arthurs and Lewis Passes, hit up Hamner and the hot pools, grab some fish and chips in Kaikoura. nothing really planed just giving our Aussie mate a slice of Aotearoa.
I just played real life Fruit Ninja in the back garden with a ridiculously large marrow we grew and our largest kitchen knife. Was fun!
That does sound fun! It also sounds a little dangerous, but dangerous things are often fun.
This morning one of my kids asked "can I have a hair dryer for my birthday?"
I said we will discuss it closer to the time as they want everything for their birthday. They said "I don't want everything, I don't want..." then thought for a full 30 seconds of ums and ahs before saying "I don't want a broom for my birthday! Well, I do want a broomstick".
