Ouchie ouch!

Hello peoples of earth!
First order of business, I am sunburnt. Sorry, that's the only thing that I can think about because it hurts! How did you get sunburnt? You might ask because at home you guys have had some awful weather. Because it's summer here that's how! And I hiked through Mordor yesterday, so yeah.
Yesterday we hiked up Mt. Nqauruhoe aka Mt.Doom in the Lord of the Rings movies. It's an active volcano so it was pretty cool. I picked up lots of rocks.
On the airplane over (sorry its been a while) I watched Doctor Who. And this is the real clincher, it was season seven! To my fellow Whovians they know how much awesome that is! And for their safety video they used the Hoobit themed one. There's a link to it on the right I think.
Auckland was cool. Not a lot to say though.
I sent to the Tasman Sea! All of the kids there go surfing after school! Lucky!
We went to Hobbiton. It was really cool! Everything there was tiny! It was cool (have I mentioned that?)!
I miss everyone sooooooo much! Especially my wonderful dog, Gidget. She's blond. I also miss having my own room! It's a campa (NZ term for camper van) so it's pretty tight.
There are a lot of pics I would like to upload, but maybe another time. A) because we only have a little bit of time left on this internet connection, 2) because Mom's telling us that we need to go, C) the photo's take forever and a day to load!
