Firko, did you receive the "personal message" sent while we were away!!, more worried about "did the mail get through trick" was only me being picky stuck in a motel & bored!!, no problem regarding a reply. Just a yes or no will cover it. Must learn to use these whatever they're called [emoticon] things--look like fun. Have good day. Very hot here--as if you don't know what hot is!! haaa. Came back from auckland across the 'Napier Taupo' highway yesterday just for a change & the 'Tarseal' was 'so' melting for about 50k that it was virtually a black sea of floating tar plus very hilly. We stopped [went back] to see if a 3 wheeler cyclist wanted help--said he's ok & resting but was a 64 year old Canadian cycling through th country on one of those 'lay back & feet stretched forward 3 wheelers. Lost sleep worrying about that last night, hope he's ok. Sort of put me in my place--lazy bastard in an aircon'd [albeit old 5 cylinder honda vigor shitta] car. Got a pic i'll try & load up here plus my other crap i was going to do. Gave him my address & cell phone number, hope he stops in but will be a week before he gets this far. Was just thinking [apart from the physical side] it's bloody dangerous if say one was on the limit [boy racer--or me!!] & come upon him mid corner. Cheers.
