So it's my birthday today, but rather uneventful, although it is so nice out and hot. I'm used to skiing on my birthday rather than going to the beach. So Melanie and I had a night in Picton which is a beautiful little town where the ferry arrives when you cross from Wellington. It was rainy there, but still really beautiful, right at the end of Marlborough sounds. Then we bused to Nelson a couple days ago and have been chillin here for a couple days, letting my ankle heal. We haven't done anything super exciting here. Two nights ago we went to a bar called the 'Grumpy Mole Saloon'. There was a buffalo on the wall which made me laugh. We danced a little. There
was a very nice guy who would take care of my crutches as I hobbled around on my gimped foot. It was a pretty good night. Yesterday we headed to the beach for a couple hours. We had a great time in the ocean. Because it's inland a little, there isn't a rip tide which is nice, easier to swim in. We went into the library there to ask when the bus was coming and the lady (Gail) was so nice, she offered to take us into town with her (she was closing up the library in ten minutes). So we had a good chat with her on the ride back to town. She told us about her son who is in England right now. Last year he spent the ski season in Whistler (worst season ever).
So he's used up his one-year visa in Canada, but wants to go back. So Gail decided that he and I could get married so I could have Kiwi and British citizenship and he could have Canadian citizenship (don't worry Dad, I never met the guy). Anyways, today we switched to a new hostel that's pretty good with a pool and free breakfast. Oh, I also got to have gelato today (chocolate of course) which always makes for a good birthday. Tomorrow we are going to find a campsite hopefully (save some money). We are trying to figure out a way to see parts of the Abel Tasman National Park while not risking hiking too much with my gimped foot. So hopefully some adventures in the next couple days. Out for a night on the town tonight to celebrate being 23 (sounds so old). Miss you all!

You can sing it, it's just the translation of the english one!!
I'd like to give you a present for two reasons: first because of your birthday, second because i'd be on holiday, and in NZ!!
Hugs,
