Christmas

Just got back into Queenstown from the Routeburn trek. It took us 3 days and on the second day it rained the entire time. I Met up with a couple friends from Colorado, so we did the trek together. It was a good Christmas spent in the middle of the wilderness singing carols with a buch of trekers. I have to work again on Jan 5th in Cromwell. The job will probably last another 2 weeks after that. Im going to do the Nexis bungy jump in a few days, which is the third largest in the world. Should be a good time before getting back to the vineyard.

Work

That job in Blenheim was a sham. Hopefully I get some money, but it was kind of a waste of 2 weeks. Im in the southern part of the south island now in a town called Cromwell near Queenstown. Im pretty sure I have a week of work lined up for Wednesday then I will try to line something up for January. Ive been camping outside the last few days and plan on camping for at least the next week. Its nice to be out of hostels because that lifestyle gets to be a bit much after a couple months. I have plenty of pictures, but most internet costs money. I will try to post some when I get a chance.

Vineyards

Im in Blenheim on the south island working at a vineyard. Its nice because Im outside all the time, but the operation is a little shady. My plan is to stay here for another 2 weeks then head south for Christmas and find something fun for New Years. After that I may head back up towards Nelson to get a little work in January.
