So far, I haven't actually lost anything yet. However, I nearly left my USB cable for my camera at an internet cafe. Luckily Daniel saw it. Later I almost left my precious fleece behind. Luckily Daniel saw it. Just now I thought I lost my journal. I suppose it is inevitable that I lose something eventually. I just hope it's not my camera.

Today was another rainy day in Taupo. We can't ski, and we just found out we can't do the Tauranga Crossing Trek, the best one-day trek in NZ, due to snow. There wasn't much else to do, so four of us and an Israeli guy rented mountain bikes. It was fun until the hale started. Luckily that didn't last for long, so we rode out to Craters of the Moon, a volcanic area. Later that night it was to the bars again. The bars here all play the same songs by Michael Jackson, B-52's, Meatloaf, Bon Jovi, and the Australian National Anthem, Land Down Under, or whatever it's called.
