The weather was pretty rough yesterday throughout the whole south island. We decided against our trekking plans, so you guys will never see how beautiful our hike out to Mount Cook and the Tasman Glacier was. It's our fault for not bringing the camera with us, but at the same time, it makes that day even more special.
We hit the road instead, drove through the snow, hail, and rain, past lake Tekapo, through Christchurch, and down to Akaroa. Akaroa is a small French settlement on a beautiful bay. There are dolphins, trails, french bakeries, etc. Jack and I spent the night here and are just about to pack up now to head toward Blenheim. We aren't sure how far north we will get today, but we will be in Blenheim on Sunday. We are going to book a ferry to Wellington for Monday morning.
I am going to try to cook when we get home!!! I keep having dreams that I can actually do it, so now I have all this inspiration. I'm really excited. I know it will be a disaster, but you watch. I will cook!
Nat, Shannon, and Bobbi - Have fun this weekend!
