My blogging exercises are feeling disjointed because the whole frequency of life here is so different for me. The landscape is overwhelmingly beautiful and it is beautiful everywhere you go. Its strange when you’re driving for hours and you just sort of stop marveling at it and just be really in the moment- its so easy to feel great when there’s beauty everywhere you look. I’m reading a really interesting book that chronicles a journey, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Keeping my perspective fresh. Jason and I are on to the second Lord of the Rings movie as well which has so much to do with a journey through New Zealand.
The routine is that we have been freedom camping on beaches about every other night or every 2 nights, then hitting a campsite for water and power. We did not spend very much time on the south island because we both felt pulled to the North because of the warm weather and waves. We arrived on the North Island in Wellington on 4 days ago and we are almost to the Bay of Plenty on the north east side of the island. This is the first decent surf we have found which has been frustrating for Jason, but he’s all smiles now.
We got a rock to the windshield yesterday and there’s a crack creeping along the middle of it, but we are pretty sure this will be covered by the ins. Policy and just hoping it holds up through the trip J.
I watched Jas surf today for the first time and I was so impressed. A little intimidated though! The surf just roars here even when the swell Is small, but I am determined to at least paddle around.
