south island :: first half

our road trip has been an adventure in all senses of the word (although i only know one sense of the word)

* nearly shat myself driving backwards through a traffic circle on the left hand side, but since then the only difficulties has been almost hitting a one lane bridge. oh, and i never remember to put the car in park. i reach for it and grab the door handle and try to leave... still...
* booked skydiving for tomorrow. should be 70 degrees and sunny, but significantly colder at 10,000 meters.
* went on really cool rain forest walk... in the rain... forest
* slept on a mattress in wooden tent with glass ceiling. literally. it wasn't so bad except i woke up next to my sister to find hearts all over the fogged up glass. she swears she didn't make them. would have been alright but later that day when we booked into our next hotel we were given the honeymoon suite and a wink that was "knowingly".... i guess people assume with two people traveling under the same last name... particularly when your younger sister looks older.
* went in ames room. sweet as!

Perhaps we both should *hat
About the use of a word *hat
You may now hear in your *lat
Or under influence of *hat?

On Cape Hatteras, Mattress is PRONOUNCED Matter-us.

Having seen life and many places
Of grand architecture and spaces,
I have strongly certain feelings
No tents provide glass ceilings.

What you had was a sad illusion
Induced by sleepless confusion
Traveling, in the company, Mr.
Of your mostly amiable Sr.

It was a phantasmagoric dream
As further proof it would seem
There is no way that or could
Such a tent be made of wood!

And, further, scribe, do not flatter us
To believe you slept upon a mattress.
