friday july 26 neille and i made our way to christchurch, new zealand.
we left around 11:30 in the morning and rode a train to sydney. dean came with us so we wouldn't get lost and to help us with all of our stuff that we had.
we got on the plane, and the plane was a hour late because of there was some new staff members, so they had a delay. we got into christchurch around 1 am, and we got a hostel for a night. this hostel was amazing! they had electric blankets, we did not want to leave. the next 2 nights we stayed at the kiwi house. this was a pretty nice hostel, at 16 bucks a night-anything is awesome.
we walked around christchurch for the first full day and got gifts for people and just relaxed. this trip to new zealand is technically our vacation-so we don't mind that we just walk around and look around the town. plus it is freezing cold outside. it is about -4 degrees celsius-which is about 30 degrees and lower back home.
the next day, we met a girl from london named laura. we showed her around the town and we helped her get settled into the hostel. she's a sweet girl and she is going to be coming to l.a. in august. so hopefully i can see her then.
the next day, neille and i got into a bus at 8 am and we started our all day bus ride to queenstown from christchurch. on our way there we saw a lot of sheep and cattle farms and even a few red deer farms. we also saw a lot of snow-we were able to escape most of it being indoors and in the bus. we got stopped on the road because we had to put chains on the bus and that delayed us for about a half a hour. but we eventually got to queenstown and we got safe and warm inside and we found our nice hotel. the hotel is a little ways away from the town, but it has a spa and a bowling alley and that brings you to where we are right now. you are all now officially updated on what is going on in my life.
now for me, most of you have probably wondered what is going on with me personally. long story short-i'm pretty home sick. dean was very helpful with my not being so sad about missing home and such, but i still miss it. i miss my home and i miss my family and i miss my friends. i think most importantly, i miss myke-i miss that boy who makes me so extremely happy. i actually get to see him for a few days a week after i get home and for that i am truly truly thankful for.
i will be writing when i can-we were just able to get internet for a day while we were at this hotel.
thanks to all those who read. i'll be home in about 9 days. love you all.
love, allison
