My eyes and senses drowning in the experience called New Zealand
The video at the end of this monoblogalogue will hopefully support my thoughts which are, that New Zealand is a delight. I am drowning in it; I am satiated and full up, fit to bust. I am Mr Creosote and about to eat a wafer thin mint and explode and gush, outpour and guffaw, praise and regale and just generally say lots of good things about the place.
I am now worried for New Zealanders. So where do they go for a holiday? To Norway to see the Fjords (nah, already have them). Ok then to Switzerland to see the Alps (Nah, got them too…), All right, how about the Emerald Isle? No seen lots of green here too… OK the Caribbean? Nope no need it is just right here. OK, then how about the Sahara desert to see the dunes (Nah… ) yeah I get it, got them too maybe? Yep. From skiing to sailing, from canoeing, bungee jumping, fishing, just sunning, swimming in turquoise lagoons, the crystal clear air and the, the… sorry I'm starting to gush…
I do not know what God was thinking when he set about this place - somewhere on day 2 I guess he decided to put a cherry on the cake. How many times did I think 'turn the camera on now', and again, and again and… In fact got to the point where if I missed a really good view then no worries, just wait 5 minutes and another one will appear. And probably better than the last.
Do you like motorcycling? Do you like twisties? Do you like good roads and scraping boots and kneepads on smooth tarmac? Or a bit of 'off road'? Yes? So why don't you ever ever ever come here? It is a must do, the only do for bikers.
This was day 2 in NZ. I still have 8 days to go. I am full up. I have gorged my eyes on all shades of green and blue and brown and orange and turquoise and, and…I'm going to be such a bore at future get togethers so watch out and avoid me like the plague. And please please please do not give me a wafer thin mint after an evening meal...
Randal, thank you for the perfect bike. Tony Sir, thanks for the suggested detours and you do have a story to tell - hope to read about D block one day!

PS - Twice now I have walked out on a balcony and looked up and seen a bright shooting star. Both times were in New Zealand. The first in Queenstown 3 years ago and again this evening. I feel like I am in the film Contact. I fear that I am living The Matrix. I wish for the former but it must be the latter for no place in real life is this good to the eyes and soul.
