I’ve uploaded my New Zealand pictures (yes, all of them). I’ve found a nice internet cafe, and was able to do it:
meriwi.net. Go to the main page, click on “gallery”, click on “Joe’s Pics”, click on “New Zealand” and begin!
The Stray tour tends to attract people with a different mentality. The Kiwi Experience is a party bus, but the stray folk are more interested in meeting people. I’ve always found one or two absolutely incredible people on each bus. We hang out for the time we’re together and then move on, but friendships build so deeply very suddenly. It is good.[/url][/list]
EDIT:
Oh, and guess what else…
I ran into Brigid! That’s right, walked around Wellington all afternoon with a friend from Stray, came back to the hostel to think about dinner (mmmMMMMMmmmmmmmm curry), and Brigid was sitting in my dorm room. She had arrived that day from the south island on her way north, and fate had reception put us in the same room. Now, what are the chances of that? Sounds like Zaphod Beeblebrox was cruising nearby in the Heart of Gold, with the Improbability Drive at the red line. Holy Schnikees!
