Hitchhiker's Guide to the South Island

Just getting back into the swing of things here in Auckland, since I just got back from my inter-semester break. I had so much fun, and got to see a pretty good amount of the South Island, but I definitely need to go back again! I'll try to break down my travels day-by-day here, sorry if it gets a little long!

Day One

Lina and I left the Unilodge at 6am (after having to wake her up at 5:50am) and headed to the airport to catch our flight to Christchurch. We were so tired that we pretty much slept the whole way, but the view just before landing was SO amazing, mountains everywhere!

After landing in Christchurch we milled around for a little bit then started walking out of town, figuring that we'd catch a ride from there and get our trip going.

It's been a while...

I have to apologize in advance for two things:
1) All this stuff happened over the past two weeks, sorry about the lateness!
2) The bottom half of this post gets a little text-heavy, since most of the pictures documenting our travels were on Lina's camera and she lost it recently. Bear with me and I'll try and steal Tori's pictures to post up later!


So getting into the past two weeks, nothing tooo exciting happened, but I did get a pair of hiking boots and I've been having so much fun breaking them in!

Last-last Saturday my friend Lina and I walked out to Mission Bay, which is a little over 4 miles away. Soooo gorgeous! We hung out there for a little while at the beach to reward ourselves :)
