ok so i haven't written for such a long and am sooooo sorry. just been a very busy bee.

joint a busy trip called 'Stray' which is a hop on hop off thing. started in christchurch and up north. Was sooooooo nervous when starting on my first day but got chatting to a guy called steve who had been doing stray for a while. so that calmed my nerves. headed up to kaikora which is a very pretty town. that afternoon i went sea fishing with steve, ben and laura. Never thought i'd love it but had soooo much fun. Caught a sea perch, cod and a shark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! couldn't believe it. in the eve i cooked the sea perch and crayu fish we cuaght and think it was one of the most amazing things i had tasted. after this went to a random bar with a crazy band who stopped half way through songs as it was tooo hard.

Next day headed to picton and had a beautiful walk, with turned out to be a 4 hour hike!!!!!!! in the eve few of the girls i met headed down to a local bar and we ended up singing Barbie girl on Karoke. Oh the shame!!!!

next day headed over to abel tasman nation park which is beautiful. we stayed on a working farm and ended up camping. in the eve we had a bbq with the whole bus and it ended up getting messy!!!! the next day we took a half day hike (walked 12Km) and then sailed back on a boat. it was so much fun. got to steer the boat which is always a bonus.

next day we spent alot of time on the bus. but stopped off a beautiful places for some lush walks. in the eve we arrived at Barry town. Barry town is just one small town where only about 20 people live. Here we had a party and the theme was 'No clothes" i dressed up as a butterfly but you just have to look at the photos.

Today i headed down to Franz Josef where i am doing a glascier hike and a sky dive!!!!!!!! sorry mum and dad.XXXXXXX

anyway hope you are loving the snow!!!!
