Stolen

I'm in Napier now - to the East of the North Island. I spent 3 nights in Palmerston North - one of the most boring 'cities' in NZ. It is a big town but with nothing to do there as it is a university and military town so no big sites. Damn!!! Also, and worst of all, it rained most of the time that I was there - not really a big change as in Napier it is also raining. In the past 2 days the same jeans have got soaked 2 days running and are really hard to dry unless wearing them to dry. However at least Napier has an earthquake museum inside!!!!

In Palmerston I stayed in a bkpkrs called Grandma's place which wasreally nostalgic as it had knitted covers and an old tv that didn't exactly work correctly. Everything was old and rustic look but quite fun. I stayed 2 out of 3 nights myself as the hostle was so quiet. Though walking round a hostel where even the manager doesn't stay is quite scary.

Now in Napier I'm in Prison. Prison bkpkrs that is :-) And I'm doing really bad here as I've stolen someone else's internet time to write this up. Internet is free but you do need to book and -------- well -------- I didn't!

Got to go now and check my washing isn't getting soaked again then I'm off to see the town!
