These are pictures of Christchurch and the flowers in the Botanical Gardens, our new bikes and little trailer (we've started loading it so it's not quite so top-heavy), our campground (permanent residents, the sheep), and great new acquaintances we made at the campground, Blair and Deb and their boys, Sam and Jared. Also, some of our camping trip with our WWOOF hosts, Glenn and Karen and their girls, Ruby and Islay. We went with some friends of theirs, Johnny and Nat, Liam and Jemma. We learned to play cricket (Islay is batting and Nat is the wicket keeper) and French cricket (I'm throwing the ball at Jemma's feet. We love the sports terms. My new favorite thing to say in any circumstance is "the game is the winner on the day!" Oh and there's also one of me on the zipline at the campground in Okains Bay. They call it the flying fox here. Also charming.
I love the pictures!!! It looks like so much fun. Miss yous!
