Reunited, and it feels so good.
Justin finally made it to Auckland late monday night.
The next morning we boarded the kiwi experience bus and began our journey.
It started off lame. We all had to go to the front of the bus, introduce ourselves and say whether we were green (single) yellow (kinda single) or red (not single)
This company is very well set up, and although we are going to miss the freedom of having our own vehicle, it is a nice change to sit back and have someone show us around for a while.
I made a really close friend with a girl I call Vegas. We played poker on a sandy beach for my birthday.
My birthday night wasn't too crazy, everybody was tuckered out from the first day of adventuring.
We are never on the bus for more than two hours without stopping to do or see something.
Some highlights so far were Hobbiton (the city built for the Lord of the Rings movie) natural geysers, Rotorua which is town that smells like rotten eggs, nature walks, street lugeing down a mountain, and a bunch of really nice beaches.
The weather and scenery here beats Australia hands down.
Today we are going to Taupo, which is the party capital of the north island.
Justin says he is going to do a bungy jump today so I've been messing with him all day.
