the wacky naki

3 go wild in the wacky naki!

the weekend after northland we picked up lauren in auckland and then made our way southwards to the wacky naki (that is.. after a long procrastination over bought breakfast and coffee in parnell. ooo posh!)
stayed at laurens parents house who were soooo hospitable! we had some amazing meals... steak on friday when we arrived, cooked brekky on sunday, so many snacks of cheese etc.. and a ginormous pork roast on sunday night with lemon meringue pie for dessert!!! rad
on saturday we had some good chilling time at the house and then went out to tea with some of laurens friends. they had been at the races all day so turned up pretty pissed and entertaining! was a great dinner - cheap but really good venison sammies and some bottles of wine helped it along. after dinner we moved on to the classy classy grumpy mole (damn sarcasm doesn't work in writing does it?) one of the guys at dinner was a lion nathan rep so he bought us a round of his product and we proceeded to drink the night away whilst laughing at the late 90s/early 00s music vids - they know their audience thats for sure
got chatting to a bunch of liverpudlians who we kept banging in to during the night and one become rather attached to lauren. did a bit of boogie-ing but our night was cut short by stupid daylight savings! still it was 2am/3am by that stage so off home we went - only to find that laurens parents got home after us! shame!
there seems to be a recurring theme of our trip that sunday turns into a funday - as it should! went out to oakura to check out the surf... not happening - story of our lives!! so went for a walk along the stormy beach and played some impromptu cricket with a lemon and some driftwood! then we filled our hungover tummies with a gigantic plate of nachos and wedges in the local pub. they probably were wondering what had hit them as we spent the best part of 2hrs sitting there cracking up!!
sunday night was the epic meal and then we went to see 'step up' which is a dancy fun movie with a rather good looking lead male :) i recommend if you're after some shameless entertainment.

Lemon + stick = great fun!!

so was our weekend in the wacky naki. i feel it revealed its wackyness to us. what did not reveal itself was the so called 'mountain'. em and i are sceptical as to whether it actually exists or not. hows that for a conspiracy?
