The Wizard of NZ

Busy day for me today. First I called my mom, then off to Quantas to see if I could change my flight from Cairns -> Sydney to Alice Springs -> Cairns. I could, but five days later than I wanted, which will limit my time on the East Coast. Then off to a travel agent to buy bus tickets. Now that I've bought them, I'm wishing I would have booked tours up to Alice, since I won't see much on Greyhound. So tomorrow I will have to see if I can get a refund. Noel also says I should have gone all the way up to Darwin so I could see Kakadu, which he says is the best thing in Australia. That's a hell of a long way, though, and I've also got the East coast to cover, so that will have to wait.

Later I listened to the Wizard of New Zealand for awhile, then checked out the Antarctica exhibit at the Canterbury Museum, which was rather lame. That night it was time to say farewell to Roddy, Noel, and Anoushka. It was great to be adopted into the Irish lad's clan, and to be introduced to their myriad friends. It's tough to move on, but it will be good to see a new country. Anyway, I'd like to send a mad shout out to my homies. (They confuse me with Irish slang, so I can confuse them with American slang.)
