on the way... part 2

toots here... just fillin in on stuff that fairbs didnt mention... excuse the lack of punctuation... its faster this way.... ps.. whatever fb said about me isnt true... hahaha... no.. i mean its all true... so when we got into tahiti.. maybe fb didnt mention that we got off the plane to 3 older gents dressed in my personal favorite, turquoise and white tahitian dresses... and playing ukelele's... playing tahitian music.. ... and someone handed us all little white flowers.. which they later said to throw away as you cannot bring anything alive into new zealand, penalties severe.. we were told.... i tried to put one in my journal and press ... they smelled so good... but a flower in lieu of jail.. and fines.... remember the line from who threw momma from the train... it was hot and humid,, it was stifling it was damp... danny devito and billy crystal couldnt come up with the line.... well,,, it should have been.... it was hot and humid... ps the tahitian language is beautiful to listen to.... very musical.... flight attendants tahitians and in tahitian clothes.... south pacific all the way////



i think i mentioned that driving on the left isnt bad.. in an email... but when you add using your blinker too,, this is too much to ask... the windshield wipers on the left ,,fb keeps thinking they are the blinkers have gone on alot and not even when it rains.

the woman who runs this hostel with overstuffed couches, books and chess table to play at...huge friendly kicthen.. people cooking all the time and meeting... has lived all over the world...south africa, and other parts of africa... originally britain.. her next stop she says is to see polar bear... in canada..... her son, mike, helps her run the place... there are alot of ex brits here and germans... south africans.... we met one the first night.. he was hunting wild boar... the bigs ones.. they are pretty fierce animals.. he has 400 acres up in the woods in back of this place.... and the boar comes into sue and her sons yard, where we were staying... we didnt see him,, ..... he has family in south africa that run survival game stuff and its lucrative.. even tho his brother had been shot at already, he had a bullet proof vest on.... but the job is good.. so he stays...

we also met a nice girl from ireland, galway..... she is a cook.. works for a few years or less and then quits her job and travels.. and she doesnt even have a rental car.. guess she get rides on buses or from the kindness of other backpackers that have rentals, cause it hard not have a car here.... she also was full of good tips for us...more soon... tune in next.. for the Puzzle guy and Shangrila in new zealand.....
