This place is gorgeous…it all feels very surreal after an eight-hour layover in Hong Kronkers (Wade and Lisa: I was too wonky to leave the airport but I’ll hit you up on my way back).

 We are in Northcote Point, a hilly subhurb, staying with Lindsay’s pal Hayden. The house is fantastic, and the neighbourhoods remind me of sunny, southern Cali, and Vancouver.

Drew picked me up in our car…a 1993 Toyota Camary wagon and has some minor scratches from a game of pick-up rugby he survived.
