So! Here I am again ;)
Since last time it's been christmas, which like I said would take place in Nelson.. We were 10 people celebrating together, and it was super! I did miss home a bit, first christmas alone and all, and on top of that at the other side of the world! But it was okay.. We stayed at a hostel called paradiso, with a sauna and a jacuzzi, so it was a bit luxury for us ;) And off course we ate! A lot! We made a tapas-ish table with all kinds of yummy food! And then like 5 different desserts... We ate sooo much food! Man! And it was delicious! :D
We went to the Abel tasman national park to go sea kayaking, but unfortunately the weather was quite bad, so it was cancelled... :( Instead we went for a nice one day haik through the park before the bad weather hit...
We slept at these small camping-sites, and it was soooo cold! And rainy, and just brrr!
After that we drove in our tinytiny car, with 5 people aaaand backpacks for 5-9 months (crooowded!) towards Christchurch.. We didn't get that far though.. The road was flooded in Merchinson, and a very nice lady took us in and made a delicious meal for us, and we got to sleep in real beds, and she was amazing! I guess I can just say that we are super lucky! There was like 100 cars having to wait a whole day out there, and we had a nice and warm livingroom and tea, and just wow... After tenting in the rain I felt soo good after a waaaarm shower there...
We finally made it to Christchurch and there we celebrated New Years! Christchurch is such a nice city! And we had a lot of fun in our hostel (the strangest one ever!) We shared our room and meal and fun with a guy named Ben, who was really nice.. And we had a good new years celebration! We stayed for some days and then Silja and I got an answer from a wwoofing-house we applied for, and we split up frm the others and went there ;)
I will write more very soon I promise ;)
