curio bay, and whatnot.

the sky in that second photo just totally amazes me.  i loved the way that the setting sun reflected off of the clouds and into the water.  although it was a little freaky as well, being that it was also really windy that night.  but then when i woke up, i had that amazing view of porpoise bay you see in the photo after.

i'm still working at countdown, i decided it was easier to work a second week now than to try to find work later on, since it always takes awhile.  this weekend was dull, dull, dull though for the most part.  because i slept all day, i had not much to do all night.  i ended up making best friends with youtube, watching doctor who, french & saunders, and quite a number of music videos from mostly kiwi bands that i like.  i also met some canadians who are doing so much tramping!  i'm jealous, they're planning on going to fiordland in a couple of weeks.  the kepler track is one that i would really like to do, i think.  time!  i wish i had the time!

four more shifts, though, and i'm done with work!  and on my way!  that is a start, at least, i'm trying to decide my route, and the most logical first stop is stewart island, but only if the weather is good.  (i'm not going to pay money for a ferry if i'm stuck inside a backpackers all day, i think that makes sense, right?)  otherwise on to queenstown for a day or two, and up to mt. cook!  i'm sort of excited to be going back to the north island, not because i want to leave (of course not), but because i'm ready for a change, and it's certainly different up north.  

and what do i get to do now?  get ready for work.  wasn't i just there?  sure seems like it!
