Half way through!

In Christchurch now which is our last stop in New Zealand. Going out to Kaikoura to swim with dolphins and to Akaroa were Laura's house is but then coming back into Christchurch again.
Emily and i went white water rafting a couple of days ago which was wicked! we went through grade 1 - 5 rapids and managed not to fall out. i also discovered that jumping off a rock to go swimming in a river which is glacier fed is not the best of ideas - it was absolutely freezing!
Laura stayed with Karlijn, Laura and Emma who we met on the Kiwi bus and came to christchurch early to see family before we arrived. Yes the 2 Emma's and Laura's are confusing us too.
A group of us tried to go out clubbing yesterday - not unusual on a friday night. everywhere was empty! we had to resort to singing karaoke to amuse ourselves. we were terrible but managed to get a random guy onstage dancing. not sure how difficult that is though since the majority of the girls in the club were onstage (us 6!)
Were staying at a hostel called Cokers atm which is supposedly haunted oooooo. We all got an hour of free internet time as were on the kiwi bus which is good. Its lovely and sunny outside today though so im off to top up my tan...hows the rain? :D it did actually snow here the other day though - New Zealand is really affected by global warming.
