My week started with a C-section. It was exactly the same as we do back home and you'll be glad to know that Kiwi babies have 1 head, 2 arms and 2 legs just like ours (well maybe not the ones in Glasgow).
On tuesday I handed in my assessment form to my supervisor so he could mull it over and sign me off before he went back to the UK at the weekend, for a conference. Suprisingly he handed it back to me about 10 mins later, having given me 3 S's and 1 M, all signed and everything. Score!!
So I'm gonna do a bit more work and not take the piss and bugger off yet.
On Wednesday evening I took the train to Pukekohe to see Phill and Shell Gill and family. I had a great evening with a home cooked meal which was so nice. I stayed over night and the following morning Shell took me for a tour of the area before dropping me at the train. They also lentr me a backpack and sleeping bag for my travels. It ws brilliant to experience authentic Kiwi family life and hospitality. Armed with plenty of helpful advice I headed back to town for a quick turnaround before jumping on an intercity bus to Rotorua, for the weekend.
I arrived about 6pm and found my hostel, The Hot Rocks. There was a swimming pool and indoor spa pools all heated by the natural geothermal activity. Because of the huge amount of geothermal activity the whole city has a really strong Sulphur smell.
I grabbed some food from the Fat Dog Cafe and then headed back to Lava Bar at the hostel. I was soon acosted by some locals and was taught to play a random card game with a swear-y name. Inevitably I ended up fairly drunk and having a great night. Then I realised that there was a queue of locals round the block, waiting to get in. This is obviously the place to be. I headed to bed the back of midnight and met the young couple sharing my room. Gill and Dave form Perth! It's a small world!
