The first quater of my journey is completed as we have moved on into the south islands . It seems both the shortest and longest time in the world. Right now as it stands
I miss ( apart from the obvious family and friends) : My jeans, my heels, the abiltiy to choose what to wear not just the cleanest items, proper rain, tea, my bed! , ooh and a nice bath would go down right lovely. I miss the absloute tack of english christmas (the music) and being bombarded with cheer. sleeping in past 9 and pigeons. (never saw that one coming)
I Love this whole experience naturally but its absolutly knackering and right now its down time, we have completely lost the energy to do anything. In wellington we crashed for four days spending our time watching movies and just walking along the harbour front- we did make it up to mount victoria but only because some people we went to visit took us there! ( That was lovely eveing incidently- we had a roast and it was the most christmassy feeling ive experienced the whole tine we were there) Im hoping that south island will give us a change of pace and shake things up for a while- Em blames the new moon but I think its a natural thing to occur while doing the whole travelling thing.
Right now We are in Nelson in a small Hostel called the green monkey that provides us with free cake. We are by our selves as the boys are in a different hostel ( our group has now shrunk to four) its nice to have some girly space and just do our own thing for a bit, I think its practically classed as living together 24/7 so far- pretty intense!
Lots of options for new year seem to be around but im not sure what we will end up doing. could be difficult if we go somewhere with the boys as Marc is a non drinking heavy mental lover and unlikely to apprecaite the dance fest i had in mind.. hmmm tricky!
