new phone number. +64 21 379 631. Long story.

back in christchurch for the night. Heading north to nelson area tomorrow. My bank let me withdraw cash, just buy stuff. A little worrisome.

Got some food at a tiny grocery. Cooking early dinner of beans and rice.

I an officially walking barefoot on Moreaki beach. Heading toward Moreaki boulders.

lo. Good luck with vest grade.

Were now in moreaki finding lodging for the night. Its so freaking gorgeous here.

Just caught a ride to Moreaki from sue, a middle aged lady in a little hatch back.

Hitchhiking as 3 totally blows

Part time lover is playing in NZ grocery store.

hoping andi shows up soon to drive down the coast. otherwise we're gonna try to hitchhike with 3 people. which is rarely effective.

@n8duke little penguins, blue or otherwise, ARE freaking adorable. it took all my restraint to not jump over the fence and snatch one.

Waiting for the penguins to show up. Called blue penguins 'primarily' for their color. Not their mood?

In oamaru trying to find a place to stay for the night.

Rest assured, very bad typography is NOT a uniquely american trait.

Bussing out of christchurch to oamaru. CRAZY college in the back. Ugh.
