40-40 I see trouble

I have good news. I arrived in Christchurch to find that 2 of my group from Fraser Island were also staying there! So instead of catching the bus that I'd paid for the next morning at 7.20am, we got drunk, didn't get any sleep and missed it (this may be partly due to the X-rated actions of some the other noisy people in my dorm room, but I won't go into that). Shaun and Vicky offered to drive me up to Kaikoura (where I am now - top of the east coast of the South Island). Which we did. Seeing as I had an extra day in Chrischurch and we had nothing better to do, we ended up drinking boxes of wine in the sun in the massive park in the city. This soon turned into a game of 40-40. It ended up with 4 drunk English people and a bunch of Kiwis (including ine lad in a wheelchair) playing 40-40 in the dark with a torch. A good time was had by all.

The next morning we left for Kaikoura, famous for whale watching, seals and dolphin swimming. It's a really nice little place that has sea on one side and mountains on the other. It seems built around the tourist trade, but this hasn't seemed to affect the laid back friendly astmosphere. I leave here tomorrow morning, but not before I've given the lucky dolphins a chance to come and swim with me.
