November 4th

Yesterday I met my Cousin Ann and went around Katikati, which is a mural town like Chemanius on Vancouver Island and was quite a lot of fun. Before that we went to Dickey Flats which is just down the road from Alyth’s and is an old mining and camping area. It was really beautiful and is dotted with random 4 foot high 200 meter long tunnels that you can go through. It was all quite amazing. Then we went to this waterfall which is by the main road and I took a lot of pictures of that. Some should be uploaded on my pictures site. We had steak and eggs and fries for dinner, which was so good and it’s nice to see that the whole world hasn’t gone all silly North American diety-like. I spent like 3 hours on the computer trying to get things all together which made me feel guilty, but hopefully all should be well now. My new email address is nick.baxfield@gmail.com because UBC has decided they want to charge me 90 bucks a year to use my old one… so yeah. Anyways, I got to keep these shorter so I have more time to enjoy the country, instead of sitting around trying to email and talk to everyone. I’m to meet my Cousin Charles today, and his two children so I’ll get back to this probably tomorrow.
