Must sleep.... : )
Wow. Today has been a long day...wait a sec...I had two put another $2 coin in the internet vending box here at the hotel. I guess I take for granted that every hotel doesn't have wireless. We have a Seagate IT room where we can log on for email etc. but it's open until 6:00 and we get back at 5:30 and have to (or not) jump into the shower to get on the bus at 6:00. So no time yet. We started the day at 5:50 Am and got back at 10:30 PM. Long but fun. We Kayaked and white water rafted today. We also are learning a "Haka" from some local Maori. Well there's so much to tell. I may not be able to really keep this up until maybe Saturday wen I can gather it all up. It's been really great so far, a lot of motavational stuff. Getting along well with my team. If I get any time at all I'll try to get into the IT roomso I can upload pics and fil in some more details. The scenery down the river was stunning. Boated throgu the "gates of Argonath" if anybody remembers that from LOTR. Very cool. I'm a geek I know. I got sucked down a whirlpool that's kind of cool right? : ) Time for bed and then at it again at 5:30. Tomorrow is more Haka (we have to do our own in front of everybody) and then mountian biking. Night!

Soooo! Did you walk to the top of the hill to get fed?
Haha! No, I have some amazing pictures fromup there. We had our kick off dinner at a place called the Skyline. Incredible. We rode a gondola up the hill. Today was muntain biking, tomorow orienteering training. We had dinner tonight where we discussed race strategy with our 5 person team. Ate at a great French Resteraunt "Vino Solara". Great Pinot Noir's here. I'm thinking of taking a half day wine toue when I'm done with the race. Time for bed.Another late one! Back at it again tomorrow 5:30 am! : )
Hi Rob, reading your blog is really cool! Great idea! I will have to get the kids on to see your pictures. We can't wait to hear all about your international travels! Have fun! Love, Your Sister
HI! Everything looks and sounds amazing! I check a couple time a day to see if you have added anything, but obviously time is at a premium. Looking forward to seeing your Haka when you get home, or maybe seeing a video clip of it on the blog? :) Mom
