Definitely the last day in school.

Still quite windy @ the "beach" of Whanganui ...

Another great dinner at Close Quarters, served by our Malaysian study colleagues ...

Before all the people are leaving Close Quarters - our student flat - we had a nice Barbeque ...

There was a cool Halloween party at the UCOL student's flat, "our" Close Quarters and at several other places ...

The last days of journey Semester Break journey we spent at Lake Tekapo. We camped overnight and played some disc golf during the afternoon.

The lake is very beautiful and the water is extremely blue. Unfortunately it was a little bit to could to go swimming.

4 days in Queenstown.

Going out.

Disc Golf.

Skying.

Sun burn.

Just some nice days and a lot of fun.

We spent nearly 2 days in this nice city on the west coast and the the opportunity to visit the Monteiths brewery.

Later on we had the chance to test some samples of all the different beer types brewed here.
We camped overnight at Noah’s Ark backpackers and had fun with the other people staying there.
 

I and Jeff spent the Monday in Christchurch visiting the church tower and preparing for our small 5 day journey. We had a nice night at another Backpackers talking to random people and playing games like guessing all the states of the USA or the countries of Europe.

It rained most of the time on Monday and after stopping at a shopping mall we went up to Arthur’s Pass, were we intended to go hiking on Tuesday.

The day was great. We woke up at 7 o’clock, freezing in our tent. It was really cold last night. We quickly packed our stuff and went further on to Arthurs. Luckily our car has a quite good heating and I quickly forget the freezing night. We was an amazing morning and we took some great photos of the sun rising.

After a breakfast, defending our food from these annoying KEA birds, we went to hiking on the Bearly Spur Hut for about 4 hours. I was a warm day and I felt quite comfortable because of the right clothes and my new black and very warm gloves.
