On friday we met with James's friend in Palmeston North and stopped over at his house that night with a portion of fish and chips and a game of rugby on the tv. Up bright and early the next morning we set off up to his dad's farm, which is near Wanganui (we think). Unfortunately it rained all day so we stayed in watched a film and got well fed with homemade soup, sandwiches and big roast dinner for tea along with plenty of wine and beer. Thankfully on Sunday morning the weather was much better and we went off on the quad bike for a trip around the 8000acres of farm! Seen as hunting is encouraged in NZ we took a gun with us. Obviously me and James have never shot anything before so we had a practice on a tree, I missed by a mile but James was pretty accurate. He used this new found skill to kill a goat, a bird and a rabbit. All considered pests on the farm. After a couple of goes on the quad bike each we went back to 'Palmy' and spent another night there.
Set off monday morning to Wellington, NZ's capital. Weather is pretty cold down here. Going into the city tomorrow morning.
Bear Ghryls just been on the phone - seen the blog - thinks you may be suitable to accompany him on his next tv adventure!
