As I left you all... I am feeling better. Had a bit of a sore throat for a couple days after but totally up to par and have met some great people who have helped me though.
Shortly after I last posted I was moving on to the South Island. I ferried out on a fantastic day. Totally beat the days before. The sun rose over the water and it made coming into the South Island breath taking. There are just mountains every where and it's all green. I landed in Picton but shortly found out there was nothing to do there. I just sat out on the beach. When I got cold in went inside, where I met some of the most....peculiar people in the world. The family that ran the hostel sailed from, ironical, Arlington Virginia to New Zealand over something like 5 years. But they had cats so that made me happy.
I finally picked up the hop on/off bus in Picton where I have very quickly gotten to know, Heigle, Robert, and Anne from Germany, Laura from Scotland, Colleen from Ireland, Maria and Freddy from Canada, Ian from USA, and our driver, Cougar from England. I'm really glad I did this because I'm getting to share my experiences with these fantastic people.
Our first stop was Able Tasman where Maria and I did an all day Kayak trip where we got to see a seal colony. Then this morning, Maria, Ian, Freddy and I all went Hang gliding over the Able
Tasman area which was just breath taking. We got to walk out and see another seal colony today and are now at a hostel in the middle of no where. We have all dressed up and I promise there will be photos. It's just too funny.
Sorry there doesn't seem to be much to say. I do really miss you all. I wish I could just call all of you and talk to you about everything. Who knows, in the next couple days I just might give calls. Lots of love. Hugs all around.
Cheers from who knows where!!!

We miss you too, lady. The day before you left for South Island, Bethie and I had to return AYPO stuff to one of the schools and the stupid truck broke down! We tried calling you and left a message on your cell phone, but then I realized you probably didn't have it in New Zealand. So don't laugh at us when you get back and find a message we left in early June.
