enjoying our pre holiday

---

its hard to get used to not having a job, de-stressing takes much longer then a week.
we are starting to practice, cooking in storm kitchen, walking long distance, and with 12 kg bags on our backs, we rock climbed, and cooked, making enough food for an army! we will have to cut down on the food we carry in new zealand because our backpacks already break our knees!!!! we trekked back 15km after rock climbing and Richard had no skin left on his heels (those pesky new boots) we were lucky with the weather but our time calculations was not too good as we ended up wading through muddy fields in the pitch dark!!
the weather is real bad now and we have not had the time we wanted to go out rock climbing but we hope to go to the lake district and do a bit of walking!! in the mean time our fat storage mission, is going very well, consuming more chocolate than the whole of the Switzerland.
