What's that in the distance?

That may, or may not be White Island which is New Zealand's only active volcano. It had a bit of white smoke coming off it...



Actually, I've just checked the map and I'm fairly certain it isn't White Island. Wow - I'm going to make a great tour guide when my Mum comes to visit.

Pity the weather wasn't brilliant. For the eagle-eyed out there you may be able to spot the plane flying lower than I was standing. Now that was a thrilling moment...

Do they say "duck's nuts" over there? I went to Oz and heard of this phrase, which I understand is equivalent to our phrase the "dog's bollards". I repeated it after an Aussie said it and then a group of the natives circled, me and made me keep saying it and laughed loudly each time that I did.

They pronounce it 'DACKS NATS'.

Delinquents.

Hey O
Next time you're skiing on Mt Ruapehu, remember that White Island isn't NZ's only active volcano.

Haven't heard the phrase ducks nuts being used in NZ, must be an aussie thing - would be hilarious to hear a northerner say it tho!

Leanne - thanks for the correction. I got that info from here but missed out an important word. It's NZ's only active MARINE volcano. Glad we got that cleared up.

Vick, I'm fighting the temptation to say aye at the end of every sentence, aye? What was I doing that reminded you of Ull? Was it when I mugged that granny? Or when I glassed that copper?

No, I bet it was when I launched that shopping trolley through Wang's Dry Cleaners window wasn't it?
