prop planes and chocolate pudding

Got out of Auckland, it seems most other travelers share my opinions about the big city.  Feels good to be in a town and to be with a friend.  Played a wicked game of New Zealand monopoly.  The hostel serves free chocolate pudding at 8 pm every night.  Everyone gets in a que in the kitchen.  It makes you feel whole. 

Its interesting the instant friendships made at this hostel.  I met several people I would have liked to get to know better.  It's a little twinge to meet such fun amazing people and then say good bye.  Stuart and I are making plans for our next destination. 

cheers,
Kate
