Question of the day
Why do they tie horses / goats / sheeps
2 meters from the road in NZ?
They barely have enough food and can't move too much or risk to be rammed by a car.Raglan and Auckland
Not so many news since the Tongariro.
I drove to Raglan but it was rainy and foggy for 2 days, so my opinion is completely biased because I slept and watched TV shows for the most part.
Afterwards, I went back for 3 nights in Auckland in a nice backpackers on Ponsonby Street with free unlimited wifi!
I stopped there before going north to see a friend I had not seen for the past 15 years. Never thought it would go this fast.
Today, I went with him and his girlfriend to Piha then we had wine tasting near Kumeu. We finished the day to a gannet's colony in Muriwai.
I ended in Orowa to spend the night before continuing north tomorrow morning.

Pro Tips: for Tongariro Alpine Crossing
1st: sneakers, don’t wear
them moron. Any argument for wearing them is invalid on a track like that.
Especially if you have shrimpy white legs.
2nd: poles, if you are not a
mountain goat, which I am sure you are not, try to use them if possible or you might cry
for your life during the track. Poles do not make you look like a pussy.
3rd: time, do not leave if
all the nice weather is already gone for the day. 1.30 pm departure for a 6 hours track is also self explanatory...
4th: dress code, casual smart
is not mandatory you little piece of shit. Lose the jean and / or little jacket
you use to hook up girls in bars.
5th: bag, seriously, can you
not carry your own stuff. Where are your water / coat / food? Do not be a
retard, man up and do not let someone do your work.
Question of the day
Why do birds cross the roads (literally
walking) instead of flying and get squashed by cars?
