So the last couple of days have been a bit of a blur but I’ll try not to leave anything out. I’ll start with the good. Lets see… We hiked to the top of a waterfall, got a taste of the rainbow, and learned to do the “Haka” (it’s kind of a war dance that the native people of New Zealand would do before going into battle). I’m told their Rugby team still does something similar before the start of every game. Anyway, Reway (one of the staff here at the YWAM base as well as being one of the native people of New Zealand) was kind enough to give us a demonstration of the Haka so I will try to get a video of that posted as soon as I can.
We had a rain storm blow through on our last day at the base and when the sun cam out a few minutes latter it made a great double rainbow show up right over the mountains so we had a bit of fun with that’s you can see.
The next morning we started off for our next assignment part of which included a 9 hour buss ride and for me personally probably the worst day of this trip so far. The main reason for this involves the decision I made not to bring a computer, mp3 player, camera, address book or anything else that might take up a lot of space and chose instead to bring only my blackberry which could serve as all of the above. Well two weeks in and my blackberry has died and so far is unwilling to be raised from the dead. Needles to say put a bit of a damper on my long day of travel.
Anyway, we arrived at our destination here in Feilding last night and should start getting our assignments for our time here sometime this morning so for now that’s all there is =)
to be continued…
