September 15

Ugh wake up to some girl walking into my room, i ask what time it is..10... great so pack all my stuff brush my teeth checkout and out the door. Walk down Queen St looking like a hobo still and goto the Britomart aka Grand Central Station. The building itself was strange. Looks like a very normal building quite high ceilings. Went inside and their are little kiosks everywhere, trains, buses, ferrys....trains... . . . ok so there are 3 kiosks to get tickets. I grab my ticket head down the stairs and entered what looked VERY much like the hanger they keep the alien spaceship in Independence Day with Will Smith (Fantastic movie... first movie i went to sitting next to a black lady... "Dont u go in there Will...I TOLD U") So I wait a bit and hop onto my train.. holy buckets of holy water! scary scary train rocks and creeks back and forth... but was nice cuz it only cost 4.50 to get to Glen Eden Station.

Side Note: They say four dollars fifty... instead of four dollars AND fifty CENTS

So i wait outside the station for Geoff and of course he drives like a maniac at me slams on the breaks skids and goes "oui Mike, hop in" Hop in like your being chased by cops or hop in like get in and lets ride? Weird sense of humor here but its a free ride. We head to the grocery store again for my second time. Little more comfortable looking around knowing not to expect to see Cambells or Wonderbread I have a slightly better eye now. So i get my usual, apples, bananas, bread, beans, crackers. (its like i shop with only 3 letters abc) I also get beef sausage (mistake). I look at the other meats and think YAH good idea but then noo dont know how to prepare that. so beans and bread is ok with me.

So we head out of the grocery store, Geoff rides the cart down a ramp cuts off an old couple around the corner and keeps rolling. The little old guy hops onto his cart in attempt to catch him but then stops. His wife looks at him and giggles then looks to me and says "Boys will be boys"

So off to Piha and ends a nice day
