Life in short since Skydiving....
Finished working for Tom Pearpicker, who we miss everyday. Moved out of Nelson. Got talked out of going into the Wildfoods festival in Hokitika by the guy selling tickets at the front gate. Got our money's worth out of our tent. Got our money's worth out of our car by sleeping in Stew. Checked out Greymouth. It was Grey. But there was a pretty sweet brewery. Attempted to swim with seals in Kaikoura (we were foiled by weather) so we walked along the peninsula instead. Crashed a pub crawl on St. Patrick's. Stayed with a friend of Beth Purpur (Kathryn) from her time in India who lives in Christchurch. Picked up 4 bags of Cheetos from the airport. OH, I mean picked up Andrew Backus from the airport for SpringBreakNewZealand010. Dominated a quiz night. Got Scrumpy. Went to two glaciers... Ate Cheetos there. Picked up a package from Robin from Connor Clements...ate Cheetos there. Met up with Della Tall and her friend Carly who were on their way through NZ. Hiked to the foot of another glacier. Had the greatest dinner with the greatest friends...ate Cheetos with them. Saw Sebas off to Los Angeles. Went to Queenstown, to find that we dislike the city more than we dislike sandflies. Put Alissa on a bus to begin her journey home. Got Backus kicked out of a hostel. Went on a SeaExpedition on Milford Sound...ate Cheetos there. 12 degrees is cold water to go swimming in at 9pm, ask Anna. Hit up the southern most point of NZ sign... just to get the tshirts...and to eat some Cheetos there. Sent Backus home to get his diploma. and that is where it all went downhill..... from then to now, we've lived in our car, eaten topp ramen from the bag, , skipped Easter mass because it isn't appropriate to go after sleeping in your car, job searched, sadly, very sadly finished our last bag of Cheetos...at a backcountry hut that we had to climb a mountain to get to cause we had no where else to stay (that was a definite low point), left Wanaka to head to Dunedin, went on a Brewery tour, stayed with the most amazing Stock family, job searched, failed, and now we live at a hostel where we clean in exchange for beds and breakfast. PHEW.
Soooooooo. How about them Mariners?
We uploaded a few more photos of our most recent days. We'll caption them when we can.
Miss you all,
And then there were two....
So Im happy I made it as a one liner into my final blog post...I should probably make my own, huh? I voted for Anna to shave her hair for a $1000, I will not be contributing to that because I have no money...pretty much. Also I did not pick the "yes, because id be fed up washing my hair for 23 years" because I know that occurrence is a rare one.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I can comment on your blog now...so better keep it up...I kinda wish I could be working at a hostel with you guys...priceless
I second what Alissa said about how infrequently Anna washes her hair. I picked she'd be ugly as sin. obviously.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm glad you got four bags of cheetos at the airport:)
Ummm...just like to say that I hope the Kimo (Kemo?) worked...I would hate it if we had to have cancer together seeing as my melanoma is growing back :)...also this is my second comment on your blog...I know youve been reading mine...but remember (pronounced REM-ember) when everybody would read but not comment on our blog...yeah...my life now...
