after a good sleep i felt good and ready for another day on the road... its been a hard day today, not emotionally but physically.. have walked a good two hours up hill, had to sit down and just cry today!! it was a long long walk! but we are in Kerikeri now and the day will still go till we hit the next town!
Thankyou to all of you!

i woke up to the sound of heavy rain and gusty winds hittting the van, i said to myself " it'll go by the morning" but nooo it didin't , we cooked up some baked beans and heading towards bluff! it was very wet and visibility was poor!! couln't see 20 metres in front of me! i took a hard crash within the first hour, the roads where very wet and slippery and i leaned too hard, too fast and paind the price, no major damage - just some lovely bruising and lumps to the elbows! KIDS ALWAYS WHERE YA HELMET!!! who knows what would of happened if i didn't have mine on!! then we hit 8km of road works! this took a long long time to walk! it started to clear up and we made it to Te Kao where we stayed behind the Dairy that night - they let us shower and gave us free food out of the pie warmer!!
what a day!!

we're heading into Kaitaia and i had 2 radio interviews with the local radio there as well as a  paper interview too, but today i didn't feel great, i was tired and very sore , my feet hurting i was grumpy, then i found out stuff about friends back home which caused me to breakdown along the way, "it'll be okay" thats all i wanted to think, the weather was very muggy, and changed all day, i wasn't having fun today . all though Marcus tried to help cheer me up by acting like a fool, i knew deep down that this was hard today... i was tooted at alot today and many people told me where to go .. one guy tooted swerved and told me where to go and i broke and pukled the fingers and yelled at him, i had had enough by then!! he turned around and yelled his head at me and i yelled back and told him IM SKATING NEW ZEALAND FOR ........ CANCER!!! SHOW A BIT OF SYMPATHY MAN!!! i know i shouldn't of done that and many people say you shouldn't say stuff like that Tomo but at the end of the day its not them going through that crappiness and being told where to go, but i have learnt now and now know how to react, i wont lie to you all, its hard and when people treat me like crap i don't tend to want o be there doormat, but i'm learning and growing!! we made it to Whangoroa Harbour.. i cannot tell you how proud of myself i felt today! i pushed though and made it a good 65km day, i don't need to ask GOD for strength he already gave me that so i THANK him for that!!
