Alive and Trekking

Enjoying the day

Beautiful hike a friend and I did a few years ago on a sunny summer’s day. We enjoyed an ice cream, mozzies enjoyed feasting on us! Good times 🙂

We arrived in Christchurch ahead of schedule. We were kindly received at the hostel and our first impressions were so much better than our experience at the farm. The hostel was lovely. It was a ‘typical backpackers’ with many (clashing) colours, cubicle showers, a slightly stuffy smell and a relaxed atmosphere. After a rest, weContinueContinue reading “Christchurch”

After we had left the farm hostel very early that morning, we went on our way to Christchurch. We drove through Lewis Pass, a beautiful yet a bit barren landscape.

Gold leaf

Loving these ‘gold’ leaves fluttering in the wind, with the sun shining through revealing their delicate structure.

Farm stay? Farm nay!

Since it was too far to drive from Hopewell to Christchurch in one go, we decided to have a little stop somewhere half way. Comparing a road map with the BBH-website, I had chosen the hostel ‘Hu Ha Farmstay’, because it was in a convenient location and it had good ratings. We thought it wouldContinueContinue reading “Farm stay? Farm nay!”
