On a visit here, Sophie became quite abusive to a member of staff and was criticized for having an attitude problem.

New Zealand Lunatics

New Zealand - country of contrast! On one hand a beautiful and spectacular landscape and on the other home to the two weirdest people we have met on our travels. Here they are . . .

New Zealand Lunatic #1: Diana

Diana hitched a lift with us to a waterfall and quickly explained that she was Tiawanese, a philosopher and a psychologist. Through her broken English she explained that she was currently working on the translation of a very important Chinese text. This text, (I think it was called 'Chi Chai') when read in conjunction with the Bible, would shed light on and explain the up coming end of time. She then went on to explain that in 1999 there was a secret meeting in the Vatican where they all agreed that the end of time would probably be in 2023.

New Zealand Lunatic #2: Gem

Gem runs a small antiques shop in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere on the South Island. He is also totally convinced that he sees UFOs all the time and that, after doing some internet research, he was visited by a starship. When asked what these aliens wanted Gem informed us that the people in the starships were going to paint out the moon, kill all the sheep, and then store the meat in the hills. He illustrated these ideas using the oil paitings he'd done of each stage of the alien attack. He then went on to hypothesise that the star that led the three kings to the baby Jesus was not sent by god but was the devil in a starship, hell bent on destroying the world. Gem also showed us a youtube clip of an alien fire fight in some secret tunnels featuring the image of a naked woman with the head of a dog. He then turned to us said, "How do you explain that!?" He then gave us 3 paintings depicting the visitation he had had with a spirit called John who flew out a golden spinning cloud.

He was AMAZING.
