New Zealand

[chickenman]

Planning way ahead of time but am hoping to go to New Zealand next year.
Seasons are opposite so jan. feb are good months to go down under.
Been there 12 times, back when I was a drunk, all we did was mostly drink, so it will be nice to get down there and fly fish like crazy.
Can't wait to visit my friends sheep farm in the Hawkes Bay region on the north island, the most beautiful Farm I've ever seen.Endless rolling green pastures with thousands of sheep.
Was hesitant cause I might be tempted to pour a few down ,but now I think I can go without the temptation to guzzle em down.
Thinking a month would be best. Start in the north, nice beaches and end up in the south, fiord land, the alps, truly the most incredible place in the world.
One time hiked to Routeburn trek in the southern mountains in July, winter went 5 days without seeing a soul.
I could easily write a book about our adventures Down under, awesome people, beautiful country...
Hoping this dream comes true.....

One year we smuggled in some shrooms.
We're way down in Central Southland near a town called Winton.
We set up camp on the Oretie river and decided to do the shrooms.
We ate a few, nothing happened so we ate them all and got high as hell.
We were drinking beer riverside and laughing our asses off.
A family on a picnic saw that we were having fun and one kiwi invited us to the local pub.
It was a Saturday so everyone was there. We became instant celebrities by the way I skulled down the Speights beer.
After we closed the pub we returned to camp.
Upon waking up the next day my friend was sick as hell.
Chundering that's what they call puking, pissing, and exploding diarreria, all at once.
He slept most all day and when I returned to pub that afternoon they laughed like hell when I told them what happened to my mate...
The next night we stayed at a local farm and after we closed the pub the lady had dinner for us and in our beds were hotties, hot water bottles..
The family raised trotter horses. The daughter could whip her brothers asses if necessary.
Great classic southern New Zealand family who opened their doors to us, great experience....
Just one of many stories..

Another time we were in the pub shooting pool.
This one kiwi was taking a shot and he miss qued.
He was furious yelling at the bar tender.....BARMAN BARMAN YOU BASTARD!!!!
WHERE'S THE FUCKING TIP ON THIS CUNT!!!! He went absolutely wild till they calmed him down....
The look on his face was complete rage, drunk of course
