Ive not done much the last couple of days. Yesterday I drove to Dunedin from Qtown. Dunedin, although a lovely little place doesnt have a lot going on. Its mainly full of old people shuffling around. On top of everything else, what I believed to be a hangover is actually a cold. Im less than happy about this, as it meant that after checking into my B&B yesterday I sat watching telly wrapped in a blanket with a cuppa. The place I stopped in yesterday was what I would consider a steal. It was posted as being $300 per night but by using wotif.com I got it at $99. I think I was the only one stopping there, which was a touch bizarre. It was an old house converted into suites, so at least I had a sofa to relax on. I didn't sleep very well, mainly as I was expecting some mad axe murderer to jump out at me. If youve ever seen Only Fools and Horses Jolly Boys Outing, imagine the hotel they stopped in, but a bit plusher and you get the idea!
Today I travelled back to Christchurch for a couple of days to finish my NZ adventure. Despite feeling really bad, the journey was good, and the weather is beautiful again (although not as nice as what you're getting from what I understand). Im booked into the same hostel I stayed in last week at least for tonight. I don't feel well enough to be trudging around the streets trying to find somewhere to stay, and as its still Easter holidays down here, there are a lot of No Vacancy signs up.
I appreciate all the comments everyone makes on here. It means a lot, when you've had no real human contact for so long!
I hope to feel better tomorrow, and want to do some sightseeing round Christchurch. It looks like a beautiful city, so I want to make the most of it!
A cold, snuffly, aching

What a shame you're feeling grotty. I hope you're feeling better soon so that you're up to your usually nutty adventuring self!! Looking forward to hearing about the next part of your trip. Sending you hugs to make you feel better, love big sis.x
Sorry to hear you're feeling rough but its probably doing you good that you've slowed down for a couple of days. The weather here is good even Harry has been playing in the Garden
