Come with me on a journey through time and space
DAY 10 - NELSON TO CHRISTCHURCH VIA KAIKOURA
It's xmas eve and yet another y early start with a hangover. we make our first stop at the montana vineyard in the marlborough region. so naturally we must have some wine tasting even if it is only 9am. it would be rude not to.
we are taught to sniff and swash the wine around, i dont think the guide was too impressed when she asked if anyone could tell what fruits they could taste on one particular wine and i responded with grapes. cheer up love.
then we spend a bit of time playing very bad lawn games and taking lots of photo photo photo while a helicopter above films us for some reason, i do hope its not a police helicopter but im sure ive done nothing wrong.
back on the coach our next stop being ohau point where we get out to look at the seals and do very bad seal impressions. arrrfff arrrff. i suggest we go out clubbing, to which i got a slap. i was due to go whale watching today but the water was too rough so it was cancelled. we drive around the coastline enjoying the veiws around the pacific lap.
we stop at kaikoura where the we all go for a meal (fish and chips for me), then while people do their own thing the usual suspects go to the pub to drink and play pool for the next few hours.
when we get to christchurch we bookinto our hotel. pretty good hotel called the cathedral camalot, right in the centre of the old square. just enough time for a shower before we all meet for a xmas eve meal at the loaded hog. while waiting outside the hotel to meet the others myself ,neil and kevin were politely told by the police that drinking in the street is an offence and were forced to dispose of the beers straight away. kind of reminded me of being 16 years old on the green in tadley.
kevin and me wore santa hats while the others made elf hats from green napkins. after dinner we headed to shooters bar for lots of drink and some dancing like a fool again. this is a habit. an excellent night out finished with drinks in the room before passing out.
xmas day tomorrow.
