It's just not cricket!!!!

sunny 23 °C

Hi All the Polly half here! I'm going to write the first bit and then when my figers start to tire Alii will jump in and finish it off.
So not much to report, we are still trying to waste away (without spending too much money) our last week in NZ. We are still in Auckland and have managed to venture a total of 10km south of Auckland only to decide we much prefered nazi style camping and so came back! I did encounter a lovely friendly cat whilst pissing on my neighbours turf one night and managed to coax it into the van until Ali came back and told me to get the flea ridden thing out, he's not much of a cat person I'm sorry to say.
The weather I am pleased to report is glorious and has meant that we no longer have to shut ourselves in our van come 6pm, (it's 9pm and we're still wide awake!)Yesterday we treated ourselves to the fun and frollicks of the fair at Rainbows End, NZ one and only theme park, not a patch on Alton Towers but was still great fun. I managed to convince Ali to come on the Roller Coster and he liked it so much he begged me to go on it again! I couldn't however persuade him to go on the Pirate Ship, what a girl!!! I'm being usered off now, Mumma P I promise we will download some more photo's as soon as we can.
Hello Everybody, it ali's turn.. but ive nothing more to add.. well, urmmm maybe.. watched some of the cricket today, hate to say its not looking good for our game in Melbourne apres Xmas.. I wont go into too much detail as i know some of my friends feel a tad aggrieved when i talk about a Sport that only they know anything about! Still, i cheered them on like no-one else today and am hoping for a miracle tomorrow.
The Theme park was indeed a load of fun in the Sun.. i even managed (She forgot to mention this..) go on the Fear Fall ride. The Caption reads "18 Stories and 82kph" need i say more? Well, i popped myself into the seat and buckled up thinking "This should be ok!" Well, it wasn't. After a twenty second (more like minute) climb to the top of the contraption, there we sat, me with my eyes closed and pol with an insane grin and giggle to match. Then we fell. My love spuds decided to hit the back of my throat as i was subjected to 1 g of force. I tried to scream but could only managed a gurgle/groan. I felt like a newly lobotomised man.. it was horrible. Then, as soon as it started, we were at the bottom, i quickly jumped out of the seat and picked up my belongings.. and what made it worse was the rather large Maori woman next to Pol said "Lets Go again!" Not a chance, i made a polite excuse and scarpered whilst calls of "What a Girl" followed me!
Well, thats my tuppence to tonights exciting episode of Pollyali in New Zealand.

Take Care everyone

Hi you two. Well i wont call you a woman Ali cause I cant do big rides either, (unless they go in a straight line and dont move too much!). Nothing really to report this end, still have Mum and Davids cat until Sunday. There is fur all over and the carpet 2 hours after hooving looks like a snow scene again! Also had a nice visit from a fur ball yesterday morning at 6am (under my bed!) She has been an angel though and I'll be sad for her to go home. Got the kids this weekend (Katie and Davids neice) so lots of bead making Ali! Mum, David and Gramps for lunch on Sunday.
Anyways take care!
