Bailey's Blog

Our first two days in New Zealand we stayed at Hether & Dave's (friends of Dad's) house, they live in small fishing village, Rakaia Huts, not far from Christchurch. On the way to their house they took us through Christchurch and showed us some of the earthquake damage. At Dave's house we got to round up sheep, first we tried to round them up on our feet but they got away so Dave got out his quad bike and allowed me and Caleb to have a turn at driving it for a while. Caleb drove it into a ditch and then I got to park it. The quad bike was totally fun to drive.
We slept in out campervan at Dave's and surprisingly slept through 3 earth tremors (aftershocks) although Dad did tell me off for shaking the campervan - wasn't me was the earthquake aftershocks!

true-blue sheep herder
hi Bailey, good to see you have the same sheep herding skills as your dad. No doubt Sherpa Steve demonstrated his skills at sheep cornering in his wellies..... keep blogging.

Did you have a good flight? I have put our other overseas email on to let us see overseas. So, do you want a quad bike for Christmas?!!!!! Is it great fun sleeping in the camper? I want to see a picture of you in it! What did you think of the snow? You need to get a tray and have a go at tobogganing like we did when we were kids! It is great to see your photos.Hope we are able to get on while we are away. Have fun love Gran x
