Home sweet home!
Hi!
Like I said in Wednesday we went up at 3am to get to the airport in Christchurch. 3am is very early, and we didn't sleep that much. We where fighting about the blanket all night. But when Tove and I are that tired we just laugh at everything, so we did fine.
When we arrived to Tokyo after like 11 hours on the flight we took a 2 hours bus tour to our really big hotel. It had 25 floors. Tokyo is very big! You had no idea where you were. It looked the same everywhere.
The next day we went up still kind of early so we'd have a full day in the big city. The breakfast where really good, but a little weird. We got cournsoup for breakfast. It was a bit, special.
Then we took a taxi to the main shopping street in the area. We walked around there most of the day. We shopped some chlothes and sucked in the atomsphere.
For lunch we wanted to eat sushi. And ofcourse you think it should be really easy finding a sushiresturant in Tokyo... It's not. In the whole area we walked around in there where one sushiresturant. One! We thought it would be sushiresturants around every courner.
But it was deffenitly worth the time searching for the sushiresturant. It was amazing. Another life experience.
At the restaurant there was a sushi train (a train with lots of different sushies going around the resturant) you just took a plate of the train and ate it. The sushi where lying on different kind of plates. Different plates where worth a different sum of money. So the peaple working at the restaurant counted the plates to see how much you needed to pay.
The food was really yummy but best of all where the sushi chefs. While they where making sushi they where screaming things in Japanese to each other. It was really funny. I loved it.
After at day in the city we went back to the hotel packing ones again for the flight home.
We came home at Friday evening after a really though flight, we where really tired. It's good to be home tho. Hanging out with my friends and my family. I've missed them. I'm kind of exited for school tomorrow, seeing everybody.
This is my last post. It's been really fun a and I've learned a lot having this blog. I really hope you're enjoyed reading about my journey. Have a good day! Bye!

The last night
Hello!
Yesterday we drove from Hamner Springs to Christchurch. It wasn't a long drive so we got to the motel around 2pm. When we'd been doing homework for a few hours we walked down the street to get some dinner. We ended up in a Chinese restaurant. The food was okey but I had to eat with sticks, I suck eating with sticks. But it went kind of okey if you compare with the last time... It ended up with the women on the table next to us asking the waitres if I could get a fork.
When we got back to the motel we looked at a good movie (I can't remember the name, it was something with "tower" in it) and some YouTube clips. We have good wifi here. Then we went to bed.
Today on the afternoon we went shopping. We didn't actually buy something special. Tove bought a phone case, her mom a citrus press something and I finally got my book, jippey! Finding my book made my day.
Now we are at the model after a really yummy dinner, packing and preparing for our journey to Japan tomorrow. It's going to be really cool seeing Tokyo, even if where just there for 2 nights. I'm
Looking forwards to it.
Tomorrow we need to get up around 3am so I should probably go to sleep soon. Bye!

Hi!
Yesterday we drove from Westport to where we are now, Hanmer Springs. It wasn't a long drive but I'm so tired of sitting in the car now. The car seats in the camper van is really uncomfortable. It felt like we where driving all day but it was like 3 hours. When we came to Hanmer Springs we just did some homework, ate some dinner, looked at a movie and then went to bed.
Today I didn't have to wake up at 9am, Yay! I like to sleep. When I was finished sleeping and we'd eaten some breakfast we walked into town to enjoy the springs. It was really nice having one day without driving. When we where done bathing we went for lunch. We got really big hamburgers, they where really good.
I really like Hanmer Springs, it's just really nice here. Almost all the houses look like the houses we have in skiing slopes at home, they look new, fresh and have really big windows. I like those houses.
Tonight is the last night in the camper van. Tomorrow we'll drive back to Christchurch, leave the camper van and then live at a motel for two nights before we start our journey back home. The time goes by so fast. I can't believe it was almost a month ago we started our trip. But I kind of miss home by now so it's not just sad we're leaving New Zealand.
Now I need to finish backing. Bye!

Waterfalls and Cave watching
Hi!
So on Wednesday we drow to one of the biggest national park in New Zealand, the Wainui Falls. It was like a 40 minute walk in the jungle beside the waterfalls. It was really beautiful and I enjoyed it a lot. Except from the sandflys. I've got bites all over my feet now. It iches and are really annoying. But except from that it was a really good walk.
After that we spend the night in Collinwood.
Yesturday we where just drivning all day. Like 8 hours drivning. And when we got to Murchinson we did homework. A really boring day acually. But the day atleast ended well by watching one of my favorite movies, Safe Haven.
Today we drow to Charlestown for some cave watching. We walked in the jungle until we came to the cave entrance. We putted on our really cute yellow helmets and turned the lights on before we walked in to the cave.
The cave was huge. It was really cool, there where stalactites and stalactmites everywhere. All in different sizes and different shapes.
When we'd walked to the other side of the cave there where a big entrance and you saw right out in the jungle. The sun where shining into the cave and you saw the reflections in the water. Then there where a waterfall right from the sealing. It was just the most beautiful thing ever. I wish you could see it. It was hard to get good pictures of it so I can't really show it to you. You have to see it for yourself to understand how amazing it is, like with the dolphins. You can't really describe it.
After that we went into the cave again, to the glow worms. That was also really, really beautiful. We turned of out lights and it was like you where looking at galaxies. Like a million stars right above you. It was truly amazing. It's littrely mind blowing, out of this world beutiful. But the glow worms where almost impossible to take pictures of. I have pictures of them in my head, but it's just sad you can't see them.
After that we went back out of the cave, and drow to Westport where we are now. It was a great day.
Now I need to try doing some homework. Bye!

Hey!
So on sunday we went to see the seal colony. It wasn't much of a colony, we saw two seals. But the two seals we saw was really cute. We named them Stefan and Inge. They where lying on the rocks sleeping when we where there but I find them kind of interesting anyway.
It was a very beautiful view from the spot where the seal "colony" was. I know I say it's beautiful views everywhere, but it really are beautiful views everywhere. from the seal "colony" there was a view over rocks, the ocean, seals, sea birds and foggy mountains. All together it was so amazing.
Yesterday we went up at 4am to swim with the dusky dolphins. I was really tired but also really happy. I've wanted this for as long as I can remember. We went in to town and got ready. we tried and butted on wetsuits, it was kind of hard. they sit very tightly.
On the ocean it was kind of wavy, but i don't mind. I usually don't get seasick. And I didn't this time either. when we spotted the first dolphin, suddenly they where everywhere, and not long after that we jumped in the water.
Right before we jumped in the water I was so exited and nervous I was literally shaking. But when I got in the water and saw all the dolphins I got calm.
It was so beautiful and amazing. They swimmed right beside you, like really really close. To get their attention you maked sounds through youre snorkel. When they came close to you they swimmed around you in a circle. If you keept up to them and always had eye contact all the time they made it to a game and started to swim around you faster and faster until you couldn't keep up. Then they got bored and swam away. If you looked over the water you saw them jumping and flipping. It was so cool. I'm amazed. I can't even describe it.
When we repitetly done all that four times it was time to go back. At first they drived ow so you would get a change to take some good photos of the dusky dolphins. I didn't take any photos. I was so tired and Toves mum had already taken some photos. So I just switched back to my chlots and enjoyed the view.
When we got back we went straight to the camper van and slept for a couple of hours. I was so tired but very very happy. I still can't get the smile of my face.
After our nap we drow to a very small town named havelock where we spend the night. Now we've arrived to a big camping site in Nelson, and we got some wifi.
I'll try to update as soon as I can. Bye!
