Screaming Parrots

On our way to the Coromanel Peninsula. The pic of the tree is the biggest tree in NZ.

When I was driving I said that the car felt really funny so we stopped and saw that it was a flat tire. Big surprise. Our car wont start anymore either, we all have to push start it and then quickly jump in. We were quite the site in the supermarket parking lot.

When we finally made it to the Coromandel, we stopped in a little fishing town to get some food. There was really only one place to eat, so we went in. It was kind of like a pub, there were pool tables in the middle and an old fashioned looking bar. There was one large round table left, so we went in and sat down. I went and put on some tunes from the juke box. Finally our food came.

Out of nowhere we heard really loud squaking. We didnt even see it, it was a huge parrot just beside us on his cage. He started to hiss and squawk louder....and louder. We didnt know what to do, but what we did know, was why no one was sitting at this table. We were all red like tomatos with laughter and the more he squawked, the more we laughed. Finally the waitress came over and told us we were upsetting the bird and that we should give him a french fry. So we did and he was quite content. Everyone was staring at us now, and it was really uncomfortable.

Good Times.

We are now on our way to the famous hot water beach, where you can make your own little hot tubs on the beach with natural hot water that comes up throught the sand while digging, and I prove to have a real "Moment" Everyone was mad at me for a long time because of this one.
