I've decided that the Australian/New Zealand accent is really hard to understand! I had to ask the lady bougarting my bags to slow down like 5 times today on the phone! (PS: bags got here around noon in perfect condition...though I was secretly wishing for an India-repeat and discover my camera had gone missing since it's terribly scratched up. And no Mom, I don't need to know that I don't take good care of my stuff. I'm aware.) While we were waiting for the bag, we hit the beach for a workout! Heather went running while Pete and I did a functional workout circa his college football days. It was tough! Quite frankly, it was just nice to move around a bit. Sitting for over a day is draining. Needless to say, I slept well.
Now we're in Timaru (Tim-aa-roooo) which is south of Christchurch a few hours. Another coastal town. We had pub food for dinner. Delic. Tomorrow we're going to get up leisurely: breakfast and a run along the boardwalk, before heading up to some alpine lakes. We're planning a short hike there and will spend the night in our rockin' campervan up there. (pictures of said rockin' campervan to follow when I remember camera). The day after next we're going to go on a day-long hike to some more lakes and views of Mt. Cook. So excited! I'll post later when we've come down from the mountains. nighty night!!
