On Sunday afternoon we went white water rafting! It was brilliant! Its something I've wanted to do for ages so was very pleased to get the chance. We were in a boat with 7 others and a guide and there were 3 boats. We went about 8km down the river. We went through 3 sets of rapids, each more extreme than the last. At one point the river was very flat and so to 'entertain' us our guide tipped our boat vertically! It was really cool. We all sat at one end of the boat including the guide and he held a piece of rope attached to the other end of the boat. He pulled the rope and we all leant backwards and the boat tipped up and went completely vertical! We then all leant forwards and the boat went back to normal. The only person that fell in was the guide! Ha! It was pretty tough though and afterwards we were exhausted! They had hot showers, a sauna and food at the rafting place afterwards so that was really good as we were all wet and cold! On Sunday night we didn't do anything, just stayed in with Stina talking to her and then we all had an early night. I think the rafting plus the night out on saturday had caught up with us! On Monday we drove to christchurch. It was a 6.5hr drive and two thirds of it was in a snowstorm! lol. Very weird to see snow in august! I had my beanie hat and gloves on for most of it! Then after the snow it rained and it hasn't stopped! We checked into our hostel and made dinner then went to bed. Today it has rained all day, its horrible. We walked to town and looked round the shops and had some food but its been horrible weather so we haven't really done much. Tomorrow we fly at 9.55am to auckland and spend the night there before flying home on thursday. Have a good week! xxxx
