Upon entering the Snelson residence, words could not describe how delighted we were to be staying in such a wonderful home. The girls shrieked at the chocolates and toiletries left on their beds whilst the boys marvelled at the large LCD TV in our room. We are no longer used to having many simple luxuries as we have been staying in cheap hostels for the past few months, so we were very pleased to have simple creature comforts such as a dining table, a clean bathroom ...
Today - Summer!
... I enjoyed the sunny afternoon at the balcony of the apartment, had a longer chat with the German flat mate and checked again the internet for my Australian trip. My goal is to have most of my bookings done this week, at least till my planned stay in Sydney. Next week’s accommodations are already booked, except one day which is a bit weather dependant. The French settlement Akaroa will be tomorrow’s daytrip ...

Anyway, machaela got me a wellington ...
Penguins, Boulders and an Earthquake
... a small and weird looking little town. We walked round for a bit, but there really isn’t much there to see. So we inquired about penguin viewing again in the evening. You have to pay to see the blue penguins and we had planned to do that in Australia, instead we drove out to Bushy beach and saw a couple more yellow-eyed penguins coming in for the evening. We then drove a little more up the coast to reduce the drive the next day and ended up staying in Ashburton. Must be ...
