My birthday (02-03-07)

we had a jam packed day today!
As soon as we woke up which was about 11 we went down the road to get banana pancakes with maple syrup for breakkie before heading off to Wellington's famous museum. Em paid to see the egyptian mummy section and Lau and I just did all the free stuff which, since you could spend ALL day there, was plenty!
we then had pancaked AGAIN for lunch as we found somewhere which did lemon and sugar ones. technically they were crepes the second time so we figured it was ok.
After lunch we went shopping. for the first couple of hours all Em and Lau did was spend spend spend and i could find nothing to buy! at the last minute though i found a beautiful although slightly chavy bag which i can take out in the evenings and squash into my rucksack whilst were travelling around the country.
We then ran to the cinema to catch the 3.30 showing of 'Blood Diamond' only to find it was actually a 3.10 showing. As Lau has seen it before we decided to watch it anyway and she explained what we had missed. it was a wkd film and i'd recommend going to see it!
In the evening we went for dinner in Óne red dog' which does pizza and pasta (my favourite dinner!) we were kinda stuffed but had to have chocolate fondue afterwards to finish off before we went clubbing. We met up with three guys who are on the bus with us tomorrow and they warded off all the drunk sweaty 30 year olds which was good!
Its 4am now as we got in at 3 and decided to answer our emails. I sensibly only got half an hour but had to extend it due to the 20 or so emails iv recieved since yesterday. it was lovely to hear from everyone though and definitely worth the extra 2 dollars (about 60p) I found myself with 20 mins to spare so decided to use it up writing this as were going to Nelson in the south island at 7.15 am tomorrow so the internet time will be no good after today.
Anyway, better get some sleep!
Love you all
