Last week in South Island

Time's been flying speedy, we've been here in South Island for around 4 weeks now, and it's the last week being here, will head up back to North on this Friday. Critical trip, because we will still be in Invercargill on Friday, by Sunday night we have to be in Picton to catch the Ferry back to Wellington.

I would never have thought of visiting to South Island, thanks to Martin's job giving us the opportunity to travel together. By reading heaps of stuff on the internet saying South Island was very beautiful, must not miss it when you come to New Zealand, of course it doesn't disappoint us.

We thought it would be snowing, cold, freezing, bad weather, blocked roads in the South Island, but surprisingly everything turned out alright. Weather is fine, sunny, though it is a bit cold in the air.

Now I'm looking forward to back to Auckland. I miss our small apartment, and I miss cooking dinner by ourselves, going to New Market to do some shopping, and etc.

I won't come to South Island again, unless My family come over.

We're now still in Gore, will leave in hours later. I'm doing this internet thing in a school hall, Martin is giving his presentations about Space to the students. It's good we can get Woosh wireless connection in Gore. I thought we'd be going to Invercargill today, but we are going to Cromwell this afternoon, stay there for one night.

I feel lucky to be friends with a girl from the forum, she is a nutritionist, currently traveling in NZ too. She wrote me an email about the high cholesterol, but the modem at home is broken, my sister won't be able to read it if I forward that to her. Must send a text to mum this afternoon, I miss her very much, I hope she is having her healthy diet now.

Next month, October, I have been in New Zealand for one year.
