At Taupo
to celebrate my dads 70th bday... A rare excursion for me... I'm someone who normally has his hols at home... For several reasons... Lack of money and willing companions being two such reasons. Anyway no issues this time round and Taupo is very nice indeed... It does sorta remind me of Queenstown... The site of my last excursion back in 2013. I've decided to have a relaxing holiday... And have turned down several offers to do stuff full of adrenalin... Like Queenstown there is no shortage of things to do here... Many of them involving copious amounts of our primal fight or flight hormone that pumps through my veins often due to panic attacks n stuff.... I'm no stranger to adrenaline but this time round have decided to take things at a slower pace.
Anyway hope to get some pics of the lake at some time and will stick them on here.... Teehee... No I'm not putting them on Facebook but I may LINK them from my Facebook page to here. Speaking of Queenstown did I do a write up? But anyway i think I did... Or did i? Lol I've stopped the monthly write ups etc that I used to do... This years been substantially different with friend losses, the realisation that I'm a reviled being and there is nothing I can do about it... And the ppl who I do get along with I'm fast discovering that really they aren't suitable for the journey I plan to take due to several factors.... The real reason why I seldom do these sorta trips is basically cos the ones I do take are either solo or with family.... It would be nice to do a trip with friends but NONE of my friends are into this... NONE.... Conspiracy theories, settling down and poverty are the main driving factors... Another factor is that cos I'm getting old now the friends in my age bracket have settled down and the ones that haven't are way younger than me now so are a pain in the rear and besides are too poor to wanna do anything decent with their existence. The ones who have got the financial means to do so are either tied up with family (Jaxx and Eva... Both of them would go on hols or Cruises.... But not with me... Strictly family only) or tied up with Conspiracy theories.... ie Andrea who if it wasn't for her fears of cruise ships would be the ultimate travel buddy as she's got the time and the money and no family to hold her back... So it would then be the simple case of me getting time off work... Not too hard when you only have to sync it with the other person. This is why kitesurfing is such a good thing.... Cos it's my defence against my friends falling away... Even back in the day when friends MY AGE were unattached (ie the 90s) I realised that one day they will get married off
