Bye Bye Australia!

Well this is it... eating my last australian salad (spinich, avacado, tomatoes, feta) and taking down pics. i was never good at goodbyes! Heading to New Zealand tomorrow and doing a whirlwind tour of the North Island...
The description of the tour is here, it should be quite interesting. Not really sure what to expect yet! I'm excited for a Polynesian mudbath and some soul-healing hot springs! Taupo is the cheapest place in the world to sky dive (it was invented there), but I'm not going to be sky diving. I may try zorbing -- I saw it on Amazing Race once! And i'm going to try to do some Glow worm Cave Tubing! I'm excited to experience some Maori culture...the British colonization of NZ was a lot different then the colonization of Australia. The aboriginal Maoris were a warrior group and fought back so most colonialists have assimilated into the Maori culture, unlike in Australia where the Aboriginals were meant to be assimilated in British culture.

Anyways, gotta get back to packing!
