Road trip to Tekapo

We left for Lake Tekapo yesterday at 9:30 stopping off in  Geraldine to pick up sandwich and latte which kept us going on to Tekapo. We arrived at 12:45 and after taking some pics headed to the Backpackers where we parked up and found Pete at the Reception of the Motels for our interview. We got there early so hung around for half an hour before the Interview.

The Interview went well and we then spent the afternoon chilling with a beer at Pete's daughters Monteiths bar before heading to Pukaki and taking photos. Came back had tea in Unit.  Then had lattes and wedges at Monteiths bar then relaxed on deck of unit we stayed for free for the night:-)

Met the guy this morning at 9:20 before heading back to Christchurch where we arrived at 1:30. should find out if have job by this Friday:-)

Camping

Yesterday we went to Rakaia Gorge to a Campsite there overlooking the Gorge - we chatted to a couple of French Canadians from Quebec and they gave us some wine and tea. Was strong winds all night so I got no sleep, Mark got 3 hrs sleep. Stopped in Darfield on way for tea and on way back for breakfast:-)

Going Camping

Ha we bought a tent with $50 voucher I got from work so taking liz to a camp site tonight wish me luck!

only £7 for the night so a cheap way to get away.

Purau Bay and Port Levy

Today was so sunny we made the most of it by heading to Purau Bay having coffee and toasties bought from Diamond Harbour before heading to Port Levy and spending an hour or so there soaking up the sun and generally relaxing. Some poor dudes couldn't start their boat for ages and eventually set off on only their small engine back to Lyttleton.

Wet Weekend

Rainy and cloudy day but we went out for breakfast then later had a coffee at Starbucks. Went to an event being held against Whaling but wasn't much going on so came home. Went bowling for 20 minutes before having coffee at C4 our fave kinda coffee, better weather due tomorrow and will make the most of it:-)
