Apres BBQ

The BBQ was great, far too much food (which does make it Christmassy), no turkey but rounded off with a piece of Christmas cake, lovely. Chris decided to go for a walk after lunch (it was either that or fall asleep) so Andy joined in, but then just wanted to sit down every time he saw a bench - that last sausage was definitely a mistake. So after a while Chris pointed him in the direction of the hostel and carried on by herself for a while. Then got back and joined Andy in (yet) another beer.

The afternoon has followed a familiar pattern of working our way through more alcohol, but without any Christmas movies - how wierd! We did however get some fantastic brownies made by one of the staff which were most excellent even if not helping in the whole "feeling stuffed" scenario.

It has definitely been an enjoyable experience to have Christmas in hot weather. Tomorrow we head slightly west towards the Abel Tasman National Park, where we plan to work off a bit more of the food on Monday with a day spent kayaking then walking through said park. However, it looks like the weather might have other plans. Time will tell!
