New Zealand : Days 53 - 59
New Zealand : Days 53 - 59
When you read my book you’ll learn that I feel New Zealand is desolate. However, these pictures lie and depict another different side, they show the beauty of the environment, but I don’t want you to think it’s a lovely place to be. New Zealand isn’t really more beautiful that other places, it’s just that there is nothing else to do aside from look at the countryside. And because you stare at it for so long, with nothing else to do, you convince yourself that it is beautiful. Mothers do the same thing with their babies, my mother especially.

Peeping out of an igloo, sorry, a umm…umm….a tepee!

Rob picks up the attention of a rather hot babe, actually, take a second look, that’s just a cardboard cut out - not Rob, the babe.
