Day 22 - Taranaki

Here we are on the surf cost highway, the furthest westerly point on the North Island and it is flat as flat can be. There are more breaks here than some Hawaiian Islands and there isn't a bloody wave to be found! My timing in this country has been impeccable for missing every bit of surf. I have not been in the water for 6 weeks. Needless to say I am looking forward to scoring some waves in the near future, if not here then in Aussie where at least the water is warm.

The area of Taranaki is western north island, it is well known for Mt. Egmont, the massive volcano that looks like a perfect cone. Looks pretty sweet now but some day it will blow and smash the smithereans out of NZ. My advice don't be anywhere near this thing when it goes, if you are then you best be kissing your crispy ass good-bye, think Pompeii. Nonetheless it looks pretty cool, eh?



Next topic of discussion... why have the comments died away? We do our best to keep you guys updated with whats going on here almost daily, yet we have no clue of what is happening at home. Babies being born, parties and snowstorms we get maybe a glint of that on facebook but we are feeling kinda left out. Are ya feeling something here on the page?

Let us know.

You read the page?

Let us know.

Got a suggestion?

Let us know!

We've been feeling a bit isolated from home lately so help us out say hi. I don't know, maybe you don't like us because we have long hair...

Enjoy your snow Calgary.

Sorry for the lack of comments, just jealous that you missed the incredibly cold winter of hell here in Calgary. The blog is thouroughly entertaining, though. I especially enjoyed the Amazing maze in maize entry. I voted for the maze.

You do need hair cuts, and they are a waste of Money somy suggestion invest in a pair of scissors, cut each others hair, and them post photos for our amusment. It's not like you have jobs you would loose becasue you had a mohawk.

I'm reading, as I sip my medium double-double and reminisce about the Flames game I was at last night, with Taj purring on my lap. What's that sobbing? Oh, sorry, I didn't realize till just now that those were the top things you miss most. Well, now you can move me even farther down the list.

Just kidding of course. We miss you guys and like to get your regular updates on the blog. More fall-down reports please. When I saw a lady wipe out on the sidewalk going over the new Elbow/Glenmore overpass this morning, I was inspired to check your blog.

Don't know if anybody noticed, but the word verification word right now is "glignorg".

Just thought that was important enough to point out.
