Dizzy in Gizzy
The day is slowly getting better. Woke up to noisy backpackers this morning at 7am. I think most of the people at the Flying Nun are fruit pickers and Germans.
I must admit that the weather and my being alone again have tainted my view of both Gisborne and the Flying Nun hostel. I can imagine this town is nice to walk around if the sun is shining and the hostel would be fun if you are with some good travellers too but both of these are missing for me.
However, I just popped in to see a movie (”The Incredibles”) to waste 2 hours and my mood has improved. It is still drizzly outside but strangely warm out of the rain as the sun must be trying to break through. I also got a text from Robin that cheered me up.
So I leave for Auckland this afternoon and will be there for two more days before flying to Hong Kong on Monday 7 Feb. I have no idea what I will do there apart from see my Brother and Sister-in-law. It is the Chinese new year in a few days (Feb 9) so there must be loads happening. Perhaps I will get to be part of a chinese dragon!
