New Zealand was all around me!

Moby | 4/8/2004

So I managed to pull it off.

Booked tickets Thursday afternoon, went out for a few, finished packing 2am. Airport @6.30.
4 hours sleep

Checked in with the old work on arrival, to try and drum up some consulting business.
Then it was time to party!

Met up with Allister, Dave, Becky, Felicity & Shane
Bounced around some of the pubs.
Ang was in town and correctly guessed I would be found downstairs at Jet post midnight! :)

Decided to party the night away, and got Allister to pick me up from town 5am to head directly for the snow.
0hrs proper sleep

Met up with Jamie, Dave & Janet at the snow. Had a good day boarding with some large snow flurries but overall good visibility. A little bit hard off piste.

Margarihtas, the Lodge & Powder Keg at the Ohakune Junction were the venues for the evenings entertainment.

Powder Keg was full of Ponsonby Milf’s, and a good nite was had.
5Hrs sleep

Perfect blue sky day Sunday. Awesome day was had, apart from Kirsty getting severly concussed on the last run of the day. Wearing a helmet and all.

Its quite crazy how invincible we think we are.

On the way home was keeping an eye out for Becky, as everyones phones seemed to be flat.
Managed to spot Becky & Iain on their way thru Taihape to the snow. So caught up over a couple of beers.

Back to Wellington…

Monday was the day of Wellingtonism’s
Started the day with breakfast at Fidels. Some unsucessfull shopping was broken with Krazy Lounge;Krazy Fries.. mMmmM

Then managed to at least buy some stuff, and squeeze in another meeting with my old work.

Before hitting Matterhorn for some 42 Below cocktails.

Pushed onto Hede for some very good Japanese.
Shane, Ang, Antony, Becks, Alisha, Allister, Christine, Vince & Madeline made for a great evening.

4am off to the airport; wow. I can’t believe I fitted it all into 4 days.

Hit the wall last nite, another 22 hour long day finally breaking me.
