Greetings from Kiwiland

I am now in Kiwiland, on the first day of the second week of my travels in New Zealand. Sitting in a wireless café in Queenstown at present, spectacular mountain views just outside. I love it here, me and C have seen so much since arriving. We managed to spot the rare yellow-eyed penguins at Nugget Point in the Catlins in the south, saw small blue penguins up close as they were waddling across the road in Oamaru and fur seals (also at Nugget Point). We visited Milford Sound yesterday, and it RAINED and RAINED and RAINED. We got soaked despite rain poncho and my newly purchased trekking shoes. At least the waterfalls down the rocky mountains were spectacular.

After these two remaining weeks we go back to Tasmania for a week and then it´s back to Sydney again, and then to Thailand before it´s time to head home. It feels a bit sad, I´ve been through so much (fights with E, fights with C, two breakdowns on the 1-day roadtrip from Cairns to Sydney, living in a tent for two months in Melbourne, goon hangover, Aussie barbecue) so feels a bit strange to head on home to work or go to school or pursue dreams.
We´ve been eating well at least, seeing as all we have is an eskie and a gas cooker. I admit I have introduced C to baked beans which we eat with bread and butter, but the day before yesterday we had an awesome pasta dish with zuchini, salmon, capsicum and sour cream. We´ve also made mashed potatoes and pancakes. For lunch we have avocado sandwiches often, and we´ve both invested in chocolate drinks we like (C has a weakness for Milo; I prefer Cadburys chocolate drink).

Now in the remaining time I will write some postcards.
