Writers block!

I have writers block. Not that I don't know what to write, or don't have plenty to write about...but I keep getting "blocked" from the computer cafes by the constant interruption of actually DOING the things I plan on writing about.
So bear with me. However, I have posted new photos to the flickr site. All in reverse-chronological order.
Upcoming posts:
-The Milford Track (The finest tramp in all the world)
-Stewart Island (Muddy-mud-muckymud)
-Various quotes and poems
-Showering with two Isreali girls
-Fried eggs and red wine
-Everyone has a double (you wouldn't believe how many people you meet that remind you of someone you know)!
-The southeast coast into the Palatial retreat in Christchurch.

My travel partner left New Zealand a few days ago for Australia. So, I am once again on the solo trail. Have spent the last few days engaging in some much needed, major chillin' in Christchurch and recharging my inner-batteries. I plan to hit the road again tomorrow for Banks Peninsula (volcano), then south again toward Mt Cook, Wanaka, Rees Dart Trail, etc...not sure where I'll end up for Xmas and New Years.

Thanks for the emails and comments!! It is great to check my mailbox and receive emails from y'all. It makes 9200 miles disappear with a "click".

Well Ubie, it sounds like everything you ever wanted in a trip and more. Travel truly is the tonic of the soul. Last month I wrote a song called,
"Fierce redneck adversary with a lengthy 'fuck you' list". Without the time I spent outside of our fair burgh, it never would have happened. When you get home I'll play it for ya..sure to get some laughs. Keep the sun in your face and the wind at your back.
Peace bro.
