Life in Blenheim

..or Blenm.. how they pronounce this city here. The Backpacker we stayed at was soo great, really! It was called "The Grapevine" and there was actually one main house and another one (that we stayed at) across the street. So we had kind of our own house with 8 other people together. Miri and Dani also baked twice during that week. Guess what they made... ;-)

Schneckennudeln!!!

In the evenings we sat together and talked or played cards. It was a lot of fun!

Fun stuff..
not much to do in that quiet town but tons of people from the Backpacker to do it with ;-)


Sunday was kind of lazy, we had to recover from the night before (don't worry.. I made sure that Miri doesn't get waisted..) Miri red in the sun while I was sleeping next to her. She boroughed the German translation of Twilight from Dani and couldn't stop reading it. Our last day in Blenheim was Monday. So Miri and Dani thought now that they have been working on the vineyard for 1,5 weeks they might as well do a little windtasting tour. So said and done.. we took the free bikes from the Backpacker (well free to go into town but not to the vineyards but who cares^^ ..we didn't) and took off together with two other guys

Miri ready to get drunk ;-)

ahhh.. be careful Miri!
more wine! Cheers!

Then after the winetasting tour Miri and Dani went on the road to hitch hike to Nelson, their destination for the night. But before that Miri had to say good bye to her fake vans.. oh well there are worse things.. they were just too messed up from all the work on the vineyard
