So today is the last day we have at Danny and Catherines in Whangarei. Tonight will be our first night sleeping in Biff. Sounds kinda rude but I'm really looking forward to it. We will miss being at Danny and Catherines though. They have been awesome and have shown us some amazing things this last week. We will miss the food. Catherine has cooked us a few meals and Danny is pretty good with the BBQ. It's pot noodles and pasta for the next few months for us! It's kinda tricky cooking a roast dinner on a piddly little hob and a microwave. Might be good for our waist lines though. We'll miss just sitting out on their deck with a few beers watching the sunset over the hills and the harbour.
But, most of all, we will miss the fart competitions. We watched a British documentary the other day called "I can't stop farting" about these people who have excessive gas and how it affects their every day lives. It said that the average person only trumps 5-10 times a day which i thought was quite low. So, we decided to have a competition to see if we could beat the average between the 4 of us. I won the day with 14 trumps but our group average was 9. Danny let me down with only a measly 7 pumps. I thought the big guy would be like me, a sophisticated fart robot.
We had a good day yesterday. Danny and Catherine are volunteer snorkel guides at the local Marine reserve. They have an initiative here to introduce kids and locals into the sea life in the local waters. Gives awareness and aids conservation. So we met them in the morning and headed out for a bit of more snorkeling. Visibility was poor due to the monsoon from the previous few days which had churned up lots of silt. The girls did see a 6 foot wide sting ray though and Danny and Catherine saw a 8 foot wide sting ray called Raymond. It was awesome. We then had a BBQ on the beach and spent the rest of the day relaxing.
We head off to Auckland today to collect our post, then head on to a place called Raglan on the west coast. It's a town famous for surfing so we're gonna give it a try. Wish us luck.
Might be a while before another blog as not sure when we will get online again.
Peace
