bruce and i came up with the best one, but we were a bit too sure of ourselves and threw it down too many times in a showing off kind of way.  well, you can guess what happened

after the dropping of raw eggs we moved on to the hitting eggs with sticks whilst running down a hill competition

my mum is having her last night of her tiki tour in a bit of a rubbish hotel by the sounds of it, and is going to be dropped off at Christchurch airport, despite us being told just a few weeks ago that all flights had to be booked for after 2pm (and us having to pay to get her flight moved back in the day).  otherwise all sounds good.
