This morning (Thursday, 10am) I'm taking the Interislander from Picton to Wellington. Translation: I'm finally going to the north island! Having been on the south island almost exclusively since February, and with only two months left here in this beautiful country, I figure it's high time I get up north, see the sights, and catch up with friends. Crossing one-way, with Delilah, is about US$100. That's why I haven't been bouncing back and forth between thw two islands... :)
Obviously my cash supplies are dwindling by now, so don't expect much in the way of touristy-activities (kayaking, horse-trekking, boat rides, scuba, etc.). Of course, things like that could still surprisingly manifest, and I wouldn't say no! I'm mostly planning on catching up with friends I haven't seen in a while, and doing two more Vipassana courses (September 10th - 21st and September 25th - October 6th). That's 3 solid weeks of disconnectedness (I can't wait!) so perhaps I can rope Jonas in for some more guest-blogging... you game, bro? Otherwise, this place will quickly become a cobweb site. ;)
