The beginning again

At the moment, I don't have time to update the blog and talk about my North Island road trip, coast to coast sunrise to sunset adventure and Fiji. I'm leaving tomorrow to begin my trip of the South Island. It starts with a 2 week climbing trip to Takaka and followed by a 5 day kayaking trip in the Abel Tasman. Then we work our way down the West side of the Island stopping at various climbing spots, interesting cities and sights. There will be a 3 days tramp on Stewart Island which is located South of the South Island. We will have to take a ferry to get there. Then we'll work our way North up the East side of the South Island. I'm going to update this as often as possible, but I might not be able to post photos. It will depend on the amount of internet access I can get for free or cheap. I'll try to write a blog about my travels from Jan 9 - Jan 24 because they were fun and noteworthy! I wasn't able to write them when I got back in Christchurch because the house had once again used the alloted amount of internet. I'm not sad about it because it allowed me to procrastinate from blogging for awhile, but I stayed up until 12 am this evening because the internet reset today. I'm quite tired so please forgive the typos and grammatical errors that are sure to be present in this post.

Cautionary tale 12: Always wear sunscreen in Fiji.
