Unplanned plans

Sometimes you are pulled out of dream land to an intrusive alarm only to snuggle into the blankets and doze off with dreams of the days planned missions playing in your head. This never seems to last long because your brain soon decides that dragging your sorry ass out of your cozy bed and actually partaking in your adventure is infinately better than dreaming about it.

And so it was on Saturday. It wasn't long before I had everything packed up and ready to go; then just as I was finishing breakfast and about to head out the door snowboarding and overnight gear in tow Rach decided to vacate her cozy bed and do something for the day. It wasn't long before we had formulated a new plan, a plan that infact involved very little planning and even less of an actual plan. None the less we packed the car full of stuff, anything that crossed our mind could come in handy given we didn't really know how long, how far, what direction or for what purpose we were going, and hit the road out of chch. A quick stop in at work (to use the internet - we are not that suffisticated at home yet) to check the weather across the island set our compass bearing for us - sunshine (south).

And so we spent the day road tripping, following the sun, taking random photos, stopping where ever we felt like stoppping - coz it's not like we were actually trying to get anywhere and eventually we found ourselves in Tekapo with some rather expensive and rather delicously evil vanilla bean fudge which we had aquired along the way. We found oursleves a place to stay for the night and headed off into the sunset to take a few photos.

Mountains Every Which Way!

Our enthusiasium for photo taking carried on well into the evening and had us up again at 6 am to head further in the general direction of south to catch the sunrise.

Lets just say NZ treated us to another magnificent day.........
