Nov 22nd.

Went to Driving Creek Railway - a mad railway that takes you up into the hills built by sculptor Barry Briknell. Pottery there - weird surreal pots & people all the way to the top on a ricketty homemade 'train'. Went to Kauri Grove in Coromandel Forest and saw Siamese Kauri trees. Camped up and chatted to some UK girls who were based in Turanga and had parked there car over an edge with 2 wheels off the floor!

LOL. He was alright, but he was in band with 3 ancient Maori guys and looked like he had just fought hisway onstage and crashed their set. Well outta place. Still the band We saw in Kaikoura were worse - they were out of tune, out of time, ancient and were possibly the most ramshackle pub band Ive ever seen
