The museum of filth:
The recreation of the mystical-wish moment in the movie 'Big':
The sunburn/skin peeling:
The statue with the first ever 'party-on' hand gesture:
The awesome mumbling near-naked tramp:
The jugs (ahem...):
And of course, the 'wild' night we drunk tea, did puzzles and cut hair:
I already miss the lively city and its interesting characters, but Napier just feels like a more homely, healthy place to live. Maybe thats because I'm actually eating properly again (was living on cheap noodles and $7 large Dominoes pizza's!) or because in Napier, I'm yet to be woken up at 4am on the 7th floor of a rickety old building, by a "tiny" earthquake. Talk about laid back kiwi's....not remotely bothered that the entire city is directly above a fault line.
Seriously though, Its good to be back with family. Despite making many friends and having good times, It still somehow in a way, gets incredibly lonely in the city. I really do miss everyone in the UK even though its only been a month! I hadn't even seen some friends and family for years before I left but since then I've missed them loads! I'm sure I will settle once I have a bit more stability - I don't have any more travel plans over the summer as theres plenty of fruit-picking work in Napier, which hopefully should keep me occupied and help settle in.
I will post again soon, but until then..
