merry christmas! i didn't feel the season starting until today, when i woke up at lake tekapo and found myself in a snow storm. sean and i are calling it our snow day because we've really been travelling hard for a while now (we left stewart island and hitch hiked from the complete south of the south island to somewhere in the middle in the mountains), so we're just chilling out for the day at the lake. it's way to cold to try to hitch hike anyway. the hostel is warm and the showers are nice and hot. i think we'll head out tomorrow sometime... as long as the weather improves. ben said it was hailing on the farm a couple of days ago... so maybe it's just some summertime flurries. which is crazy to me. but i find it funny that i travel to the places in the world where it snows in the summer (alaska snow on july 16 and new zealand snow on november 30) funny.
anyway, i just wanted to say hello. i'm not dead. this trip has been great so far and i'll put up some pictures when i get to a proper computer that doesn't cost $1/10 min. and i know i need to write back to some of you. sorry i haven't got time to do that until next time.
all my love,
genevieve
p.s. mt. cook might be out if the clouds clear up for tomorrow. i think the lake will be absolutely amazing with the lupins, snow, and white huge mountains... and of course the lake water is an electric glowing blue... bluer than the bluest sky. it looks insane, like magic is real or something... ;)
