Nelson

So I think I am officially the palest pale girl ever. I have a sunburn. Just on my face, but still, it hurts. Today I took the ferry from Wellington, which was amazing by the way, to Picton, then a bus to Nelson, where I start WWOOFing tomorrow. Right now I'm at a really great hostel, the kind I like. It's very homey, only around 12 rooms, a hammock, etc. It's in the suburbs of Nelson which means the walk to get here was around 1 1/2 miles (and that's with the 4 blocks that I walked out the way factored in) with all my stuff, but at least it was a nice day (hence the sunburn). Hope everyone's well! (You guys know you can leave comments right???)

Hi! I'm reading your blog! This is so exciting! You should have known to bring milk of magnesia...Ii guess I probably should have prepared you a little better for life down under (even though I wasn't in NZ...Oz is close enough in my world). I like how you were prepared for difficult travelling, what a nice surprise for you! I hope your cold is getting better. Love you!

Lauren,

Make sure you take lots of pictures and then be sure to tell me when you post them and how i get to them. You need to explain more about the food so that I can get a good mental picture of what you are eating while you are away because eating ethnic food is one of the best parts of traveling (not that i would know first hand:) ! Hope you are having loads of fun and are being very safe. Miss you!

luv jess
