Well the kayaking trip is temporarily off. Ben is deperate to get down to Queenstown to do his bungees and if he went ahead, it would take a week for me to catch up again. Also some other friends i've made are continuing and just didn't want to be left behind! It's not safe for a girl of my age to be wandering NZ alone with all these sheep... So hopefully do it on way back up.
Went horse riding yesturday for 2 hours through Lord of the Rings Territory. Been meaning to go riding for a while so that was a fantastice return to the ride! Got on well with my horse - Buster - we even had a couple canters and a few jumps. Yahoo. We stayed in River Valley Lodge - a gorgeous remote lodge believe it or not - in a valley by a river where they do grade 5 white water rafting. I am going to stop there for a week on my way back up to be a SLAVE!! Fo 6 hours a day of cleaning, housekeeping etc (what bliss! CLEANING!) I get free accommodation, meals and internet use, plus one activity. So i'll do rafting for free. How very clever.
Easy day today and just a walk tomorrow. Phew.
ps. sore bum is from horse riding...
