14 January:Today we started to pack everything ready to leave for Christchurch in the morning. We had a few things to sort in town as well, but nothing much exciting.Ed & I just sat in the flat on the evening, while Carly & Sara went to Speight's Brewery to do the guided tour. They were given a sample tray each with the 6 beers that they produce, their favourite being an Apricot wheat beeer. They came home quite late after a sneaky half in the pub, then w...

Back again, probably for the last time in a while, as we're leaving behind the luxury of things like bedrooms, a roof, tv & of course internet. Heading to Christchurch on Thursday to pick up our Wicked van & get back on the road, this time in a 2 car convoy. Yesterday we planned a day trip to a place called Tunnel Beach. We read a little about it before & didn't think it would have too much to offer, but we were wrong! It took roughly an hour to ...

All that went smoothly enough & we went shopping for clothes! All 4 of us bought an item each, so no-one was left ...

Back again, so soon after the last couple of blogs but we know you all love it really!! Yesterday we took a picnic down to the local beach, St Kilda's. It was almost empty & I couldn't understand why. The weather was good & it was the weekend. Didn't bother us though. The girls read their books while me & Ed kicked a footy about & pissed about with a frisbee. In the afternoon we all had a big sit down & chat about what we're gonna do during o...
