So I’ve made my way back up the east coast of the south island of New Zealand, from Queenstown through Christchurch, Kaikoura and Picton, where I took a ferry to the north island, arriving in Wellington. I’ve been saying goodbye to the friends I have made over the last couple weeks on the tour bus as the journey is coming to an end, with many people flying out from Christchurch, others rushing through to catch flights in Auckland. So to all of you on the Kiwi Experience, and you know who you are, it’s been awesome and hopefully our paths cross in the future.
A couple notables over the last few days include a falcon attack while hiking up to overlook Queenstown and getting banned from the Christchurch Pick n’ Save for 2 years. The falcon drew blood from my head so I had to check with the department of conservation to see if there was a possibility of a rabies infection, but turns out there is no rabies in New Zealand so that was a relief. And while our group was shopping for dinner groceries for a certain evening, I helped myself to a mini wheel of brie cheese while I shopped. Upon eating the entire wheel of cheese the wrapper then found its way to the trash can. After I checked out I was approached by two security guards who said, and I quote, “Where’s the cheese?” After being interrogated and some negotiation to avoid getting the police involved and my arse deported, I paid for the cheese and donated 5 bucks to the Caring for Kids charity. All was well. Although if I show up in said Pick n’ Save anytime in the next 2 years they will call the police and have me arrested. Doing my best for international relations.
