hey ya,

today's the last day i'll be spending in new zealand, the land of the long white clouds, lots of sheeps, and cows, and deers and nature and lots of wonderful memories.. ") taking a flight tmr back to spore via a stopover in sydney for 2 nights..

for the past two weeks, i've been traveling ard the top of the south island with 2 germans, michael and anke, went on a 5 days trek on queen chalotte track which is about 80 km in total.. reb suggested that as she had been there before, but it was rainy the first day we're there, so was the next few days of trekking was jus muddy and slippery, nearly twisted my ankle on the 2nd day, but luckily only a little swollen, still can continue the trek... but on the 5th day, the rain was too much la, and there was an earthquake somewhere the night before, felt the vibration when i slept.. was also lazy liao la, so me and michael took the ferry back to picton, while anke, michael's classmate back in germany, strong gal, continue the trek with some other ladies.. hee..

then we went to golden bay which has beaches that looks like paradise.. it's nice, warm and sunny there.. and we even collected mussels to take home to cook.. the rule there is that you can only collect mussels 8 cm wide or longer.. it's quite fun.. hee...

then a long drive via hanmer springs and then back to christchurch where i had been staying since.. meeting some friends that i have known since i came to NZ and jus hanging out ard christchurch.. hee..

will be back soon..

miss ya all.. muack muack!!!

Luv,

Clarissa

PS: good luck and all the best to all of ya having your exams.. ")
