Dear all,
yes, its true, I am leaving kay to be the solo hairy hiker (after all she is the hairier of the 2! he he)
We will have our last bus trip together tommorow, I will get off at christchurch and kay will continue to kaikora. I am flying back home on sunday as have had enough of all this fun frolicks and mountains and want to get back to flat cambridge! No, the real reason is I have an interview on tuesday and am then off to Zambia on thursday! I(and am looking forward to seeing as many of my lovely friends and family as possible in the 2 days in between!)
I am very sad to be leaving kay, we have had SUCH fun, but I know she will be just fine as she is the more sensible traveller of the two of us with the better sense of direction!! I have had such an amazing time and am so thankful to God for this wonderful opportunity. His creation on the other side of the world is truely awesome.!!!
An ode to the hairy hikers Anne and Kay,
who went to New Zealand, it was a long way.
We saw a lot of mountains and a lot of lakes,
we had a 'no snacking' rule, but were allowed a lot of cakes!
We hiked up a glacier and saw a lot of ice,
the jet boating was fun and the kayaking was nice.
We went dolphin watching and saw some seals too,
the sea was quite rough and Kay was sick in the loo!
Ther aren't many people here, but there are a lot of sheep,
now that Anne is leaving she will really weep.
We've stayed in lots of hostels and had some bedbug bites,
the snoring and the creaking beds made for sleepless nights.
We've had some fun drivers Cam, Nick and Gray,
they gave us useful commentaries and helped us find our way.
Our time in New Zealand has been magic, like the name of our bus,
so many lovely experiences that will always stay with us.
(mainly written by the talented kay)
Do keep following Kay's blog as she travels up to the north island and then to Australia.
I would ask if you wanted to follow my blog in zambia but there won't really be much electricity!
loads of love from us both xxxxx
