Here I am back in Chch. We have had a few bummers, bust mostly good times since I last wrote. Mom and Dad had a blast at their Walter Peak High Country Farm trip. They saw a sheep shearing and had a reserved table at dinner with private service.
The next day we were going to go to the Milford Sound. Fly there, do a cruise, and fly back. Unfortunately, the weather sucked in Milford. It was a nice day in Queenstown so Dad and I went golfing instead at the Queenstown Golf Club. It was really good! That night we went to The Cow for an awesome dinner and met Louie and Dan at the Loaded Hog after dinner.
In the morning we left early to drive to the West Coast. It was rainy and crappy. Had a good drive through Haast Pass. Too bad for the rents that the weather wasn't good, but it was neat for me to see it in different weather. We had dinner at Alice May's. It is a pretty hoppin place in Franz Joseph Township.
Yesterday we were going to do a heli-hike on Fox Glacier. Again, the weather sucked. Our heli-hike was cancelled because the choppers were unable to land on the glacier. Instead we did a scenic flight. It was really awesome. We ate at Alice May's again for dinner...
Today we drove from the West Coast into Chch through Arthur's Pass. What a drive that is. We had some fun with the kea at the top of the pass. Now we are in Chch. It is a raining a little bit and there is some kind of snowboard rail comp going on in the square. If it wasn't raining I would go out there and watch it.
The All Blacks are playing the Wallabees tonight so we are gonna go to a sports bar and watch the game. Tomorrow we fly back up to the North Island and spend the day in Auckland. After that I am heading back to Hamilton and the rents are staying in Aucks until Tuesday night before flying back to the States.
