Hey all, I'm having a good time still, for all of you who were worried my good time would fizzle out. I'll be hiking what Frodo and Sam hiked this weekend (Happy Easter too!) I'm taking "the precious" up to Mount Doom and I'll consider throwing it in the lava.... It's gonna be interesting, no hostels, just tarps, sleeping bags and the stars to sleep under. I'll tell more about it when I'm finished hiking (I leave Friday and return Tues.) HE HAS RISEN!
Ok, I met with the Bluefins on Wed night... Awesome experience. The Bluefins are a spearfishing club here in Auckland. I was able to meet some excellent divers who had some amazing stories to tell. I'll be joining them March 29th for a diving competition, Sweet-as! They are also planning on more dive trips soon. Ryan, I'll shoot that Kingfish soon! These guys got a lot of experience, from guys who have been diving for over 25 years, to newcomers like me (who have 2 years diving) We all learn a lot from each other.
I went to Goat Island, a national marine reserve. Supposidly tons of fish and huge fish too since it hasn't been fished since the 1970s. But, the visibility was terrible, I saw 4 fish... kind of a let down but I'll be returning soon to gather more video and pictures.
I'm playing Ultimate Frisbee in the UniGames- a four day event where the 4-5 colleges/universities play sports. But thats in April (you'll hear more later)

Thanks again to all who sent me cards and Mom and Dad- thanks for sending the calendar. Jeremy, have fun and don't do too much homework this weekend!

Your blogs are awesome! I can't wait to see some of the videos you've taken. It seems like your experience there is so "real" and not the typical touristy stuff...like I've previously said...living vicariously through you....
Question: do all the students there have to speak english? With so many countries participatiing, just wondering if there is much of a language barrier.
Remember...don't fall into the lava
at Mount Doom. I'm sure its called Doom for a reason! ;o)
Hugs, Sharon
