Wednesday 31st March 2004, Day 200/366 - Taupo, New Zealand to Napier, New Zealand.

Bloody computers, just typed loads and then deleted it.

Basically I wrote loads and it was really funny.

Milkmaid lives in Hamilton not Taupo. Gonna go round and milk the cows and get shat on when I get back to Matamata.

Staying in the hostel on my own was a bit weird.

Road to Napier was a bit dull. A green arthurs pass.

Napier was very small to be called a city. Only 50,000 people.

Drove up to Gisborne and back to Napier bit dull too.

Bought the weekly international express. Good to get an idea of what going on back home. The lady had never sold one before and thought that Des O Conner was dead, his baby is the lead story.

Parking meters. Not a rip off over here.

Cyclists. Why do they do it. What's the point in looking at scenery whilst blowing out of your arse? Why do it on your own? It must take days to get anywhere here.

Bloody computers.
