Freddie Freeloader
This is going to be in English because it's a lot easier for me at the moment to both write and think in English.
We've had a crappy - well not crappy, we enjoyed it anyways - day. We're currently in Franz Josef for 2 nights. For those of you who don't know what Franz is, no need to worry, we didn't know before getting here either!
Franz is like a national park with a sort of glacier-filled-valley on which you could do guided hikes and everything.
We got here yesterday after some intense travelling. We've actually, almost every stop since last I wrote, only stayed one night in each place. It's harsh because you don't really get to relax the way you're supposed to on a vacation, but you get to see so much (even if we're almost constantly sleeping in the bus..)! We've stopped at small random places like River Valley where I got a massage to bigger cities such as Nelson where we had a party and coastal towns such as Westport just to relax.
But as of now, we're in Franz Josef! And it would be an even more awesome experience if the weather had been better. We arrived yesterday on Christmas Day and was prebooked-ish to go on a full day glacier hike today - on Sandra's birthday - but the office was closed so we could neither confirm our booking or pay anything. Which we're quite happy for today.
Back to yesterday though! As it was the 25th of December and the celebration of Christmas in (odd) countries such as this we had paid ourselves a treat to eat the "all-you-can-eat" Christmas-dinner-special-buffet for 39,50$ (almost 200 SEK). We first had a glass of bubbly to celebrate and then we stuffed ourselves full with food such as: roast ham, roast chicken, roast beef, roast veggies, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, pasta-salad, stuffing, bread, gravy and hummus. MAN, was that good or what..?! Then we had dessert as well... PHEW! We shared a bottle of wine for dinner as well - just because it was Christmas! Need I point out that I was quite full when I got to bed..? Then we had the secret-santa-give-away where those who wanted were supposed to buy random gifts for a price of 10$-total to give away to a random person! I bought three tacky Christmas-ties but as something went wrong I didn't get a present. I didn't care though - as everyone thought that I should have - it was Christmas and I felt like giving! We stayed up playing games afterward and then we got to bed quite early because we knew we were supposed to have a long day in front of us.
When we got up this morning at 7:00 we looked out the window to meet with POURING rain. REALLY POURING rain. So we all decided to skip the full-day hike and sleep-in and try to downgrade it to a half-day hike if the weather went better. We slept a little longer and went to see the booking office. We asked about the weather and they all said it would be pouring the entire day - and for the coming week. So Alain, a Canadian, told us about a bus that took us up there and back for a small charge of 12$ (instead of a full-day hike for 140$..). So we decided to try that. We got some cake and presents for Sandra and headed back to surprise her - and she was! We had ice cream-cake and cooked berries. Excellent! We did the dishes and chilled out in the room to wait for the weather to get better. It didn't so we decided to go the hot-water-spa-pool in the pouring rain instead. It was awesome! We had some cold coke, warm water and a chilly downpour. It was perfect. Got up, ate lunch and now we're practically just waiting for dinner-time. We're going to eat out just to be fancy on Sandra's big day!
AND! I FINALLY got my thumb out of my arse and wrote an ad on Gumtree.com! Hopefully someone's going to reply!

Freefalling
Jag star vid ett vagskal.
Jag har tagit ett beslut som forevigt kommer att farga av sig pa mitt liv och mina kommande dagar.
Om dryga 50 minuter blir jag upphamtad, bortskjutsad, uppflugen i ett plan och kommer att slanga mig ut fran 5000m hojd.
Jag tror helt arligt att jag aldrig kommer att fa kanna mig mer levande under den dryga minuten av fritt fall jag kommer att ha!
Fred och karlek at er alla!

I Come From A Land Down Under!
En snabb liten uppdatering av alla lagen.
Vi har, efter mycket runthattande, hittat oss ivag till aventyrsstaden Taupo - fortfarande pa nordon.
Vi akte fran varat forra stalle, Paihia, i sondags dar vi tillbringade totalt tva ganska solfyllda och galna dagar med sandboarding, solning, bad pa paradislika strander och mycket skratt. Vi akte da tillbaka till Auckland for ett obligatoriskt overnattningsstopp och fortsatte morgonen darefter till ett litet stalle som lag alldeles norr om stallet vi ville till. Hobbiton! Stallet heter Hobbiton! Egentligen heter det Matamata, men dar var inspelningsplatsen for The Shire som vi tog en dagstur till!
Nu har vi som sagt landat i Taupo och imorrn ska vi skydivea - fran 15000 fots hojd....
Det kanns maktigt.

Glory Box
Resan har gatt otroligt bra hittills och trots nastan 18 timmars vantetid i Helsingfors och dryga 12 i Hong-Kong sa kanns det ju onekligen forbaskat vart det for tillfallet! Passade pa att spana pa massa film pa planet. Bl.a. Mamma Mia!, Swing Vote (jattesot film - se den!), Kungfu vs. Hiphop, Over the Hedge m.fl. m.fl.
Vi landade i Auckland klockan 13:00 i Onsdags och motte sedan upp Lisa och Sandra pa flygplatsen efter ytterligare lite vantande. Forsta dagen gjorde vi inte mycket mer an att ata, och jet-lagga ikapp. For Lisa och Sandra, med en dryg tre timmars jetlag var det inte sa farligt, men for mig och Asa med en dryg 12 timmars jetlag kandes det lite varre! Den natten sov vi totalt i 13 timmar.
Det borjar kannas battre nu - men visst marks det att man inte riktigt ar hemma i tiden. Magen och aptiten hanger inte riktigt med men det borjar kannas battre. Huvudet ar lite halvt om halvt med - men med tillrackligt mycket vatten sa funkar aven det! Idag ar forsta dagen med sol och det varmer faktiskt pa riktigt bra - i ovrigt har vi haft Svenskt sommarvader - till Asas fortret. "Jag akte inte pa min forsta utlandsresa, runt halva jorden for att uppleva SVENSK SOMMAR!!!" var hennes uttalande... Jag forstar henne!
Vi har mest vandrat omkring i denna monstruosa stad. Alla kor bil och alla kor som galningar.. Det kanns lite grann som Lima fast lite mildare. Det tutas inte lika mycket.
Igar var vi pa toga-fest har pa hostellet (som ligger mitt i smeten - ett stenkast fran den centrala shoppinggatan (med allt liv och stok som tillhor)) och dar traffade vi mycket folk. Jag stod och slangde kaft med Aussies, Skottar, Engelsman och andra skona filurer nar jag spelade biljard. Dar marktes jetlaggen ocksa. Efter tva 33cls ol kande jag att jag inte riktigt var med i alla svangar och biljarden gick darefter..! En av killarna undrade lite spydigt om "my husband" skulle ta och borja lira snart..! Det var bara att skratta!
Idag ska vi pallra oss ivag till Skytower som ar det hogsta tornet pa den sodra delen av hela jordklotet(!!). 192m hogt och med mojlighet att bungy-jumpa - ta't lugnt, det tanker inte jag, eller nagon annan heller for den delen, gora. Vi ska nog kaka lunch daruppe, for de har en buffe for 19.95$.. Vilket LATER mycket - men om du vill omvandla det i Svenska kronor sa tar du NZ-dollar-priset och gangrar med 5 (da blir du glad nar du kommer hem och inser att du har massa pengar till overs..!).
ALLT ar for ovrigt helt obskyrt billigt har nere. Dagens Subway-macka? 20:-.. Farskpressad Smoothie...? 20:-.... 4 ratters Tapas-middag med tillhorande tva ol.....? 20... njaa.. ca. 120:-.. Men fortfarande - VA!?!
Likadant med prylar - en ny barbar dator: 2300:-! Det kanns bara lojligt! Det kanns inte som att man kommer behova vrida och vanda pa alla slantar anda.
