We have been preparing for our trip to the South Island by working a lot and not doing much else. Luckily the time is nearing. (We leave Auckland in May) This next week, Beth and I are taking a trip to the Northland (NZ north of Auckland). We leave in the morning, and are excited to finally get up there. I should have a lot of good Photos when we get back. As for the photo above, I tried to play Scrabble by myself, making only Maori words. It is very hard as they only use a few letters, and they use some of them (notably the A) a lot. It was hard to find words with only one A in them.

It would be the same as normal scrabble but have like 50 As. It could also come standard with a blow up opponent so you would never have to play alone.

You're right about there being a lot of "A's." Enjoy your trip to the Northland. Your experience on the North Island has been so amazing. Who knows what lies is store on the South Island.
