Road Trippin'

I am currently in an internet cafe beside Kent Miller, driver, owner, operator of our new mobile home. His van is our new sleeping area, and it is simultaneously our method of traversing the South Island. We left Christchurch some time yesterday, slept when Kent could no longer see the road through his haze of sleepiness, and then headed out on to the road to Queenstown.

The scenic drive here was gorgeous. Lots of great mountains/water/plains to see. Reminded me of home, almost. Jesse quoted Queenstown as "Banff without snow", which is about as good a description as any. It's a nice place, warm day today, too, so we're in the clear for some rockin' good times. There's really no agenda, except "I need to go home on the 28th", so we're doing what we can before then. I think we're coming back to Christchurch before I leave, I think I'm flying back to the north. I may or may not stop in Rotorua, we'll see how the funds are. I'd love to go Zorbing, and see what that place has to offer.

We saw Kevin and Evan play hockey against each other the other night, which was followed by a rockin' good time of a party at a hostel with a couple girls Kent knew. Pictures are on my Facebook if you haven't seen them yet (as are 60 others from our travels). I found myself quite in to the hockey game, and found myself missing it. I think there's a pair of skates I'll be purchasing this winter for public skating and shinny.


I'll talk you y'all before then, though.

Peace.
