On school holidays and enjoying the lack of schedule. Been shopping a bunch, had a hair cut and colour and off to Napier tomorrow to play with friends. Tomorrow, we are going to see Castlepoint; a real pretty place with nice rock formations, a lighthouse and from what I hear pretty crazy mean waves. I think we will stay out of the water tomorrow though, more because its freezing, not so much for the water action! Then we hope to finally see the sign for the longest place name in the world.

It is Maori for "The place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as landeater, played his flute to his loved one.” We should all have places like this named after us. I wonder what they would call mine. "The place where Canadian chick, known as clamato-lover, who bruises easily, once ate a whole packet of Toffee Pops, and then threw up." Yep, sounds like a name to go down in history. Now, if I could only get someone to translate it into Maori for me. They may struggle with the "clamato" conversion....
Watch this funny video called the Man song. I don't really think men should be put in their place, but its funny anyhow.
