Tiki touring again!!!!





Paora and Me at Chomeiji shirne, omihachiman.


Well its been ages since our last post and justifibly so, we aint been up to much so nothing to write about... however after the last couple of days we got some stuff to write about... so sakura or cherry blossom season has officially finished and they have all blown away... this usually occurs when the weather gets a bit warmer and to tell the truth i dont think it has at all... still wrapped up in blankets some nights...although the heaters away now so i guess that means its not as cold as it used to be. Didnt really do any sakura viewing this year as the weather was really shit! everyday we had free it rained so had to give that a miss.. but was still a beautiful site and time of year.

Other than that we had a great touch torney down in tokushima which is one of japans smaller island about a good 3 hours from where we are. Was a good chance to catch up with some horries from around the rohe and play some touch... unfortunately we didnt come home winners but at the end we were all winners... i guess but the winners chels and timotis team from kobe played some good touch and deserved to win... especially with lue coming back made the win all the more awesome. overall a good torney and some good times (no pics sorry still waiting on kimi and jody for those might have some soon to post).

Recently... well we have started to tiki tour around again as the weather has started to get a bit nicer and warmer. went to check out some of the places around our area that we havent yet discoverd ... chomeiji which overlooks the lake is the place we have been to lately... not bad, very calming and relaxing especially after the 1000 step climb to the top.

looking forward to do some more around here and other areas... next week is golden week where weve got 3 week days off... so will no doubt do some tiki touring and well keep the site updated with how it goes...

can now officially say its 3 months to were back home... really looking forward to it...

Let us know how things are going in aotearoa.. its always good hearing what people have been up to

Sweet
