Somehow I will make my way, via Denmark to see Viking Museums, to England where I'll catch up with the reli's and then reassess my financial situation before probably going to Rome.

So that's it so far - wohoo!!

More World Cup Tickets!!

Wohoo! I have more tickets to the world cup! I will now also be going to see a 'round of 16' game between the winners of Group G and the runners-up in Group H on Tuesday 27th June in Hanover! Yay!!

I've got two ticket's, one each for my Uncle and myself, and the game will probably be between Span and Switzerland, buit it depends a lot on who qualifies from each group. My Uncle usually works on Tuesdays so hopefully he can get time off - we shall see.

But hooray for me! World Cup tickets here I come!!

Sheetweb Spider

Check out this we fulla I snapped in my room just now!

He's the biggest spider I've ever seen in New Zealand in the wild. This spider was about 50mm from toe to toe. I looked him up on goggle (you can find ANYTHING online, I love the internet) and it's a Sheetweb spider. To find out more just search goggle, I found this dude's stats at: http://www.tepapa.govt.nz
