how much sleep is too much sleep?

i hope i'm just recovering from all the hard work because i can't help but to sleep. last night we all went out to dinner together... had some bangers and mash!!! yumm!!! when we got back I went to my bed to take a little nap....well i didn't get up till 9:30, i got up watched a little tv then, thought about going out but decided that maybe i need a long nights rest, well i didn't even hear everyone get up in the morning, i woke up at like 8:30 and the room was empty... maybe tonight i'll go have a fun time out on the town.
which reminds me, may is music month in NZ and there was a kick off at the dux de lux with lots of bands, it has a couple bars in it and each one had a different kind of music, i mostly stayed in the lounge bar where i first heard a ben harper like band then listen to another rock band with a lady lead singer... fur patrol. it was a good show, even ended up meeting a couple that was from the US, eugene and washington state... we all went out to the belgium bar after the show, no cute bartender though. i swear i knew the girl... but she says she claims eugene but lives in montana now. anyways it was a great time and a nice night out. returned back to the backpacker for some southern comfort and coke with the boys and hit the hay pretty late...
other than that i have been taking it pretty slow the past week... just walking around town, checked out the art centre, a couple free museums, and the botanical gardens are usually my after breakfast/lunch (when ever i get up) stop. finally got into the greenhouses today, past 3 times i went couldn't. hey had a really cool tropical one, lots of vines and palms, waterfalls and even a banana tree with bananas!!!
not sure what i'm going to do this afternoon... i'm actually kind of getting bored of this town right now, not wanting to spend any money since i didn't make enough working has put a damper on my going out and doing whatever... i mean there's a lot of cool stuff to do but its all kind of spendy...but i might splurge tomorrow and pay to go to the Antarctica museum, they have little blue penguins there you can play with... i know, awesome!!! but i also heard they run wild down south....which is where our travels are taking us next....i can't wait i still have a month of traveling left, in fact i really haven't even started!!!!
