That's when they start costing money!

**GingerMidget** · 18th February 2012, 20:56

Hahahaha. I wouldn't know that one.

So, I'm leaving friday. Aiming to stay in Taupo friday night, and decide where to go from there on Saturday. This is going to be interesting. First ever long distance rdrive by myself. Longest I've ever driven was wellington>otaki>palmy>wellington

So now I have a charger for my phone sorted, some blankets, should I decide i want a nap on the side of the road and I'll get hold of a camera somehow. I found mine, but its a bit worse for wear.

Have fun out there, and please take care

**GingerMidget** · 13th March 2012, 21:41

Thanks

I'm gonna find a backpacker or something in taupo, not a campground. I'm a paranoid little person.

Stayed here before: http://blackcurrantbp.com/ not too bad.
Other option is Stag Park Diner. No website (google it and you'll find info on them - they're a 24/7 diner with accommodation), haven't stayed there yet, but apparently good and will probably stay there in a couple of weeks.

I'll definitly check those out tomorrow after work, between my mountain of things i need to do (and won't actually end up doing) that diner one sounds cool already.

(kinda like the girl who said she was from Auckland, and walked in to my work friday afternoon. Turns out she remembered me and is pissed I didn't call her back)

hahahahahaha whoops... she should have been honest about where she was from then. You must have sensed she wasn't telling the truth

If you're going to taupo on friday, head out to the race track.. There will be a track day on. Watch some regular douchebags punt their bikes around. Like me. W00t.

I did, but the prosect of playtime fascinated me, and rationality didn't seep under the alcohol blanket.

too many of my whoops moments involve alcohol. Curtains, Girls who say they are from Auckland, Broken feet...

Oooh Taupo sounds like a good plan!

Pics or it didn't happen! Or a live video feed works just as well...

Epic road trip is cancelled. I spent most of my money keeping the cage on the road. Now tomorrow its off to the gym to put my membership on hold for a few weeks. Save some money, and more importantly, see if i can get stuff to stop hurting! constant pain is rather demoralising.

**Newbi** · 15th March 2012, 22:51

Bummer, stupid cars lol

**GingerMidget** · 15th March 2012, 22:56

Pretty much. And stupid eyes, neck, nerves. New glasses next week. Which means those gaerne boots i want will have to wait longer. My morning of cupcake delviery turned in to trying on boots and arai helmets.
