Bridget and I went out last night and had a mighty swell time. We then woke up, tried to go to Vodafone to buy more minutes for the phone I have, but they just looked at us and made us wait 20 minutes. Boo. Then we drove in the rain to Matamata aka Hobbiton. We were worried we wouldn't find it, but the sign was ridiculously huge. It was on some random farm and we happened to be the only ones on the tour at that time, so we got our own private tour. I WALKED THE SAME STEPS AS GANDALF, FRODO, AND FRIENDS. I also found out you can have a party by the party tree.
Destination wedding? maybe yes, maybe don't. most likely definitely. yes.
We saw a sheep sheared by some crazy shearer. It was a male. both of them were. We then bottle fed to orphan lambs. they were hungry and cute.
WE then started our drive to Rotorua. We are staying in a cactus. actually, it's cactus jack's. which is a pretty good place to be, albeit a little creepy with the mexican theme. the beds are so soft, they might as well not exist. bridget and i haven't stopped laughing for the past 8 hours.
WE just went to a hangi meal (traditional maori under the ground made meal) and they did a sweet performance. Maori men are extremely attractive and intense, which we realized first last night when we went out, but it was exemplified tonight when they were warrior-ed up. Some 15 year old girls called us annoying, so I told them that was very inconsiderate.
I've had horrible stomach problems today that resulted in a large group of people surrounding me and an older woman loudly saying "whoever smelled it dealt it" Must of been her haha.
The bathroom in the hostel has a timed light, and bridget and i were chatting when the light just turned off, which was a bit of an issue because I couldn't find the end of the tp. oh well.
Tomorrow we are going zorbing and spending the entire day in the mud baths and in the spa. Rotorua smells like sulfer, but I don't mind.
