A small rant

[vikingjim]

A month of travelling on coaches and today is the first time I get travel sick. Started on the 5 minute shuttle bus to the coach stop, then I've been feeling steadily worse all day. Came from Rotarua (smells like eggs, volcanic, saw geysers and thermal pools- photos to come) to Auckland, feeling shit all the way and since

Hey up.

No idea if this would be any use to you, but if you want to email me phone numbers to ring, and messages, and things, I can relay answers back to you. I'm not pretending that would be anything like what you're after, but I figure it might do in a pinch?

Failing that: posh hotel might let you phone if you explain why? Unless Auckland comes with an embassy, or consulate, or something.

Well, offer stands if you need it, anyway.

Take care of youself out there,

JTA.

Thanks for the offer mate.

In the end I pulled the wall panel off the hostel and fixed one of the "broken" machines myself- the usb lead for the mouse have come out- aparently it'd been "broken for weeks". Useless bloody hostel staff.

Hope your nan's OK Jimmy, don't feel guilty, these things happen. My grandad died while my brother was in New Zealand. You'll be home soon anyway and she's in hospital which is the best place she can be. As for travel sickness, I get that alot, if you can get some of those wrist bands they help a bit. Or you can knock yourself out with the pills...but main thing is just look out the window alot and sit near the front of coaches and buses. Not long to go now and you'll be back in the 'adult world' wishing you were back in the laid-back travelling one!! Make the most of it xxx
