Thursday 31st May Journal entry brought to you by Tami (annoyed with Kiwi Experience for not knowing their own pick up times) Sophie and I were meant to get picked up by the bus to go to Kaikoura this morning at 7.15am, so we left the hostel at 6.55am (SO early) and walked to the pick up point that is supposedly nearer than Base. We got a bit lost, but still arrived there at just after 7.10am, and there were three people there waiting for a shuttle who had bee...

Wednesday 30th May 2007 Journal brought to you by Sophie Today was Brian's last day and we thought that we would have to leave at 7 to catch our bus to go to Kaikora.

I don't think I have ever been (correct me if I am wrong Mother) so I can't compare. The cathedral sits in the centr...

Sunday 27th May Journal entry brought to you by Tami Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Mum, Happy birthday to you! Today was a fairly relaxed day. We went for a long walk round a billion souvenier shops (which were all exactly the same) with Brian and Steve. We then had dinner and went to a random bar and played cards. It was a really nice and chilled evening. Sorry the journal entries are becoming shorter and less interes...
