weee!
ok, i am now in the south island! yay! currently, in nelson.
tanya and i just took a day hike, camped, and kayaked back to our starting place. i still feel like i'm in a kayak, and to tell you the truth, it might make me sick if it doesn't stop. the room is rocking!!! ick. it was a LOT of fun, though! the hike, which we originally thought was going to be an eight hour hike ended up only being three, so we took a nap on the beach before even starting it. well, i took a nap. we had to take a water taxi (oh, sorry, an ackwa (aqua) taxi) to the starting point of the hike awaroa and it was about 45 minutes... and it kind of sucked. i had to lay down on the beach for a bit to get my bearings back.
so then we hiked through the national park, and it was really pretty! lots of trees. then we got to our campsite, and pitched our tent. there was a group of 45 14 year olds there ... they were kind of noisy. they locked a girl in one of the toilet stalls and they'd keep banging on the door... and then there was this guy who kept singing 'lola ... lolololola.' it was kind of funny. the kids weren't actually that bad, they were quiet by 10, i think.
the kayaking was amazing! we rigged a sail and actually sailed three kayaks for a while. the guide we had was really funny.
annnnyway. i'm running out of time on my computer! i'll update again when i get the chance.
