Rest of break

The rest of the break went well. Unfortunately the weather never really turned around and I did not get any more days of skiing in. I went to the mountains one day but ended up getting a refund for my lift pass because conditions were poor. After sitting around in 2 different expensive ski towns for a total of 8 days waiting for good snow, it was time to give up. Me Scott and Garrett decided to go on a road trip and out exploring.

We started off heading towards Flordland and Te Anua. We tried to go on a doubtful sounds boat tour the next day, but unfortunately the cheaper one, 140 was booked up. We continued south towards Invercargill and then to bluff. We wanted to take the ferry and stay in Stewart Island for the night but it was 60 one way which just seemed unreasonable. From there we stayed in a really nice house/hostel in the Catlins which we had all to ourselves. It was in the middle of a sheep pasture over looking the ocean. I even got up at 6:30 to watch the sun rise. The next day we continued our adventures, stopping whenever and going on quick tramps to beaches and waterfalls. We eventually stopped in Wanaka for the night.

The following day we drove through the mountains to the west coast. We just relaxed on some beaches and enjoyed the coast. I ended up doing some driving because scott was feeling pretty sick, as where we all. We continued up the coast and ended up staying in Fox Glacier. The next morning was the first really nice day of the whole trip, and of coarse the last day. Me and Scott both went sky diving in the morning which was a real blast. Then I continued to drive us up more of the coast, and then finally through the mountain past back to Christchurch.

A total of 13 days of travel. Althought it didn turn out to be the ski holiday I hoped for, it was still a lot of fun! I enjoyed the adventures and relaxion. Sorry for being so brief, but the pictures will do more justice.
