The Dreaded Ngauruhoe also know as Mount Doom from the Lord of the Rings movies. We would eventually find ourselves atop the beast, in an awe-inspiring spot above the clouds. Word to the wise: Sneaky Pete is back in the bloggin business.

Inside of the deadly, volcanic Mount Doom. We did a nice little walk around the rim of the crater, also known as the ultimate rim job

I have the power! 

How much do I love unemployment?

A whole hell of a lot! Its fantastic, I haven't slept this good in months. I can finally completely embrace the beach bum life style - and what a life style it is. For instance, yesterday I woke up about noon and strolled down to the beach for a bit of sun. When the sun got too hot I would mosey on down to the water for an attempt at surfing which usually ended in just a paddle. Then lay on the beach for a bit longer. When I would get hunger, I'd eat and thirsty, I'd drink. Unfortunately it will probably only last a couple more days. Until that day comes, I plan to continue enjoying the ultra cruisey life style!

Happy Naked Day!

Its that time of year again, thats right little baby Roy will be celebrating his 24th birthday tomorrow! No big plans I don't think, I got to work late and most of our friends have jetted out of town. So we'll probably just drink until we fall down (whats new, right?). Peter and I have both dealt with the loss of our friends in different ways. I ended up dancing on stage in a shady club in town on Friday and ole Pete went home with a gay English guy! Apparently it was an innocent ride home, but you'll have to ask him for the intimate details. whoo! Any who, I am sure it would make Stevo feel very special if anyone wants to give him a birthday shout out, his number is: country code 64 then 211 475 635. Oh and I twas nice to hear from everyone over the weekend, it really doesn't feel like 6 months since I saw all my Georgian's lovely faces. I will certaintly make sure I get to the phone next time. More to come soon...
