Happy Birthday Geoff
Recorded in an Italian place picked pretty much at random. Sorry about my painful singing.

This runs about an hour.
This is the first of six posts recorded from a cool and windy Sydney. Unfortunately the batteries ran out half an hour into this tour.
The light fades pretty quickly in Brisbane.
Arrived early Tue and met Mel and Jon at the
airport. After a pancake breakfast we took a brisk walk along the beach at
mission bay. New Zealand is pretty cold at this time of year and on Tue
the high was about 12 degrees c. I checked into the New President hotel on
Victoria street, and wandered over to the Sky tower, the tallest building
in the Southern hemisphere. 200 nz dollars and half an hour later I was
195m above the city street preparing to jump. I don’t know what it is
about nz and extreme sports but they seen to be pretty abundant here, and
with no shortage of tourists seeking their next thrill, experiences like
the Sky Tower jump are available 365 days per year. I wil post the vid as
soon as my laptop starts working again.
Tue
afternoon we visited a very windy One Tree Hill before grabbing some
icecream. Yeah I know it’s winter here, but this was good icecream.
I’m now at Auckland airport about
to catch flight 139 to Brisbane Australia.
The
cool weather of the last few days was a nice contrast from Vegas, and one
never really feels cold in nz as the warmth of the Kiwis is second to
none. A very special thanks to Mel and Jon who have been my guides during
my stay in Auckland, cheers to you both. I’m sad to be leaving so soon,
but am excited to be going to australia. And with any luck I’ll return one
day.
