Note to my english fellas,

 

As always too lazy to keep you in the loops with my amazing experience. Everyday gets better and better in the other part of the world an I'm not being ironic or sarcastic for once.


 So basically after spending a month or so in The Rainbow festival and Parihaka, Me and Crazy Polish nutcase Tokee aKa Greg coninued on travelling together, headed down to Wellington to find a place to stay and perhaps a job. 

 

First one was easy, after camping in the street in Petone, some Maori dude (probably feeling sorry for us) hooked us up with Klio, a single promotor in her forty's who apparently suffers from compulsive buying tendency disorders (the back of the house being filled with electronic devices , dvd players and gym abs muscle 2000 that she probably never used).

 

Room was pretty spacious and we shared the all house with Fijian and guy from Sri lanka. After couple of weeks we got robbed all of our valuable stuff, my laptop, cameras, modem etc. Burglary they call it New Zealand. After reporting our misadventure to the police who appeared to be completely useless in this case, we got a little insane and wanted to kill some kiwis to ease our pain.(just kidding).

But yeah apart from that, all went ok, me and tokee working in Los Amigos, a Chilian restaurant in Wellington. We spent a few days helping tidy up and reorganising the kitchen which was truely messed up.

 

The boss, as he likes to call himself although he seems to have no idea about running a buisness, was bankrupt so it was hard for us to be paid. Tokee worked another week or so before Boss decided to split up. Too much arguments and tension in the kitchen I suppose. Anyway, I did few small jobs like moviing stuffs out from Klio's house and got 100$ off the rent and working as a beekeeper with lovely Rachel and Scotty(the owner of the factory). Sweet experience! After finishing work, I crashed the side of the old lady aka White arrow (my car) on a wall, being distracted once again. She is nearly dying now as I speak to you my fellas.


After so much effort, I needed to relax a bit(now I'm being ironic), so I went with Rachel to Waipatiki beach not far from Napier, where we found an amazing spot up the hill facing the ocean. We set up the tent and spend two superb nights contemplating the moon, talking and being in total harmony with each other and nature.(see picture below)

Anyway, I found out few weeks ago that a very good festival kicked off the day of my birthday the 20Th of February, I went along with Tokee and had a really good fun. Started at 10 am drinking a mix of vodka and coke playin shaolin soccer in the street of Windy Wellington under a shiny sun. Music was excellent, nice dub and kiwi reggae. The night before, me Rachel and greg went to the Turkish restaurant in Petone and had some great food and wine.

Now, it's time to move on because first I didn't find any job in Welli, second I got a little tired from Greg who is the most hyper that I ever met and Third City makes me a little nauseus. But what I really want is to get a little closer (in distance)  from Rachel and try to get a job in Vineyard why not.

 

So next week, Greg is gonna move upnorth to Auckland meanwhile I will go fo a trip with rachel in the south Island near Abel Tasman park for some camping, fishing and Kayaking. I'm really excited about it and looking forward to this trip which I'm sur will be memorable.

 

I'll try to keep the blog update with more english posts and more pictures (got a new camera for my birthday hehe). And maybe some more guest stars. hahaha

 

Peace
