Hello All,
We are still alive and well. We are unfortunately unable to upload pictures at this point in time, so we cannot show you what our last weeks have held. I'll give a brief overview for the pictures that will be following in a few days (hopefully).
We flew from Wellington to Christchurch and stayed with a lovely couple and lady there. While in Christchurch we got well aquinted with the bus system, saw the earth quake damage, expereinced a few earth quakes (though Sadie slept through a couple), had a beautiful day at the beach and fondue party with new friends, and attended the NZ Cup horseraces!!
We then hitchhiked our way to Kaikoura and enjoyed the beach and sun before continuing onto Nelson the following day. We've been staying with a fantastic family here in Nelson, the Kempthornes. We shopped downtown a bit, spent a day at the beach, played with the kids, and hung out.
Tomorrow we will be hitchhiking and then boating into the Abel Tasman (a spectacular national park on the northwest of the south island). We will be camping for two nights in Bark Bay and hope to do several day hikes from there. Thanks to the Kempthornes we will thankfully have a tent over our heads. Hopefully the nice weather holds.
We promise heaps of pictures once we get back!!
Blessings!
Emily and Sadie
