My Journey Round The World

 Early Monday morning – I mean, we put an alarm clock on holiday! – we left David’s parents cosy house to reach Mount Bruce and the Bird Sanctuary in order to finally see some kiwis - don’t worry Grégoire, they are protected, we cannot eat them I have to say Ariane was a bit disappointed… – Unfotunately the weather wasn’t good at all, even if we waited… (As Synco said to me: “In NZ, if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute”) so we continue our journey up to one of NZ “big” city: Palmerston North… A bit scared when reading the Lonely Planet guidebook with a citation of John Cleese: “If you ever do want to kill yourself, but lack the courage, I think a visit to Palmerston North will do the trick.”
Actually – some might be happy to know that – I never wanted to kill myself but I could have kill people there as it was impossible to find internet access… However, we were not in the gumpboot capital…
