Major new developments (get excited...wait...wait...now!)

As you might have guessed, a lot has happened since our great Walk. And since you ain't got all day to read me rambling about every little thing, and getting caught up on some minute detail while struggling to maintain the level of sophistication, as far as sentence structure and use of language that have made this blog the roaring success that it is today, but not content, no this blog does not depend on content at all, are concerned. Have I mentioned I'm reading Gravity's Rainbow at the moment? Anyway, let's make this quick and painful, and then I show you a picture of me and two dead things. Well, maybe not things, since they were non-things before they died, but I don't wanna give it away. I'm also gonna use some Kiwi slang we picked up along the way. Who of you can find it all?

We have looked at a waterfall that comes right out of a cliff (Tarawera Falls) and went to Rotorua. To look at all the cool geothermal stuff is quite dear, but Hell's Gate was included in our ticket for the Maori cultural experience and hangi. It was yummy. Then we went on to Mt. Managanui to visit Brooke and Leon, the couple we met in Raglan. We stayed with them over the weekend until Thursday, and it was awesome as. Then we went to the farm where we are right now, and it's been awesome so far as well. Everybody's supernice and the food is preemo. Oranges straight from the tree, tasty beef sausages, and veggies that couldn't be any fresher. Plus we get to play with the kids during our off-time and really get to take part in the family life.

But now to the part where it gets real interesting (i.e. the part revolving around me, oh, I snapped my deck and got a new one by the way, it was cheaper than usual decks as I got one made in New Zealand but I don't wanna bore you with any details): Last Sunday I went fishing with David (the dad), and caught my very first fish (in my life). We went on his boat with another guy and I ended up catching several fish, mostly Trevally and Snapper, but also a Blue Cod. It was amazing. So now, for your viewing pleasure, [+] Christoph with two fish: That's Trevally, Christoph, and Snapper from left to right (that joke will never get old, not on my watch)

[-] Right-o, Christoph.
