Our last days in Kiwiland!
... They did not serve any alcohol, but it was BYO (bring your own). So you were alowed to bring your own wine or beer! And so we did =) 28-03-12 Today we went to Akaroa. A small town about 2 hours driving from Christchurch. The town has a French influence. Yesterday we met some tourists with a car so we went with them. Saved us $50 each! =) Was fun. For our hosts we made some bacon/cheese pancakes and then we went out for a drink. Our last night was awesome! =) Tomorrow we will leave ...

Standing at the sink, still feeling sick, I take them off and scrub them with my fingers, hoping to remove all the dirt from the treads. ...
Things can only get better
... 0800 coampervan number informed me, that as it was out of hours, there was nothing they could do until the morning. Majorly hacked off I, thankfully, had arranged to Skype Mum and Dad, so I could tell them the exploits of the day. I mean, how often do you get to go into two different security related government offices in one day!! A bit calmer, and emotionally and physically exhausted, I made a makeshift bed and settled down to sleep in my new ...
