Entry from: Rotorua, New Zealand Entry Title: "Rotorua (Or: Zorb, Luge, and Other Fun Stuff)" Entry: "After leaving Napier, we headed north towards Rotorua, where we'd meet up with our friends Shannon and Paul again. This time, Jeremy drove so I got to spend my time yelling at him to stay in the left lane and not veer into the shoulder. On the way, we stopped by at Lake Taupo. After Rotorua, this is the spot for adventure activities, but since we planned on doing everything with Paul and Shannon, we didn't stay long. We did see the large mountain that was Mt. Doom from Lord of the Rings. We also stopped by the Huka Falls, which are these big rapids that creates 85% of New Zealand's hydro-electric power, and 15% of NZ's overall power. When we reached Rotorua in the evening, we found the motel where Shannon and Paul were staying, which had an excellect jacuzzi spa tub. The only problem about Rotorua is that the geo-thermal activity causes the whole town to smell like sulphur. After all the fun we'd had together in Cairnes, we were excited to see Shannon and Paul again. Apparently, they'd been having similar car troubles (and arguments) as we'd had and were happy to see us as well. They ditched their car and we all shared Dolly. Having all four of us in one car seems to help the fear and tension from ...
A cover of Zorbing by Stornoway - they are awfully good. www.youtube.com Live shows in NYC! 10th Sept - Joe's Pub. 24th September -The Living Room. It's just the end of summer in the UK, it's been raining pretty heavily, so I thought I would cover this lovely song by Stornoway to get me in an autumnal mood. The lead vocal and ukulele were recorded live in one take, with one microphone. Backing vocals were added afterwards. This video was premiered on the WILD honey pie blog.

Such a great song. And the lyrics are adorable (: LYRICS - Conkers shining on the ground, The air is cooler And i feel like i just started uni Walking backwards to my van You're at your window, And I'm tripping every time i think of Lying in your attic I can feel the static The storm has broken, Heavens open Send my body out to work But leave my senses In orbit over south east London Wind the window down and pinch Me on the shoulder Whilst i'll be driving off to dream of Lying in your attic I can feel the static The storm has broken, Heavens open So electrifying, Oh I'm nearly flying Lost my heart between the sheets of lightning I've been singing you this song, Inside a bubble, Been Zorbing through the streets of Cowley, We were always meant to be, Zorbing together, And i think its high time we started Lying in your attic I can feel the static The storm is breaking, windows shaking So electrifying, Oh I'm nearly flying Lost my heart between the sheets of lightning Lying in your attic I can feel the static The storm has broken, Heavens open So electrifying, Oh im nearly flying Lost my heart between the sheets of lightning
