This is the beach located about a block away from my home.
These are some pictures from my first Super 14 match. It was the home opener- Hurricanes vrs Reds. The Stadium is called the Cake Tin, b/c it's what it looks like. It seats about 30,000 I think. Possibly more
This guy played for Petone.
This was really funny. They had these fireworks and the debris went everywhere. The players had to wait around on the field for it to clear.
These are some pictures from the Te Papa museum in Wellington. I spent a while in there.
Scared James:

I was glad that nobody was around while I was taking these. I kept running back and forth to my camera to make sure I got what I wanted in the pictures
At the park, where those trees are, they were having a big festival thing. Those boats in the water is a dragon boat race.
This is crazy. It's a condom hat. Apparently they made this to try to get a sample of this birds you know what. The bird kept doing it on this guy's head so they did this to try to trap it. The idea was a failure.
Just some crazy looking car in the art gallery
Mean lookin cow
This guys tattoo's were really cool
This is a picture of some singer, but his name eludes me. Ben Harper I think. I took this picture for Jake so he could see the cool tattoo. I couldn't get it less blurry though
More art
These are some pictures from my ride along the Hutt River bike trail. I thought it'd take about 45 minutes but it took 2 hours. I made my way to Upper Hutt city to play some disc golf, but it took me too long to get there and I couldn't stay. I had to make my way back for work and I had to take the train to make it back in time. The ride was real pretty though - at least the parts on the trail were where I didn't get lost. lol
Upper Hutt city is around those hills that are WAY in the distance. The entire ride was 29 kilometers.

Here are a few pictures from the park. It was pretty nice. Wish I could have played the course and seen more
This is the view from my room at the Fiesta that was a couple weeks ago.
This is the view of the harbor from my roof. We sometimes go on the roof to chill out
Just a picture of Jackson Street - the street I live on. It's the main road in Petone.

AWESOME pics James!!! I think it's safe to say you are having the experience of your life. Yea, thats right, ALL MY IDEA!!!
DUDE! Stay VERY FAR AWAY from that condom hat! You fall out with that thing on your head and it's curtains!
Great pics. Amazing the difference nice weather and sunshine makes.
I didn't see "bored" written anywhere in the last couple of blog entries.
So, have the teams been choosen yet? And, what does the schedule look like?
I scrolled down further to see some blog of your playing. Sorry I don't know what a black player is, probably like a black belt, huh? I'll have to visit with Dirk offshore to get some info on how the sport is structured.
In my day, I probably would not have had the sense to get out of the big guy's way. I would have aimed for his *%#@%. He would have had to go down!!! I'm sad those days are over for me. I would like to share this pain I've got.
Good Luck. Later.
