Blenheim

Posted by newzealandkris on October 17, 2009 at 11:07 PM

So we have finally made it to blenheim. It looks like we may have beat the job market by about a week or two. We have decided to hang out a while in The Grapevine which is a backpackers hostel. Right now there is pretty much nobody here and we have been having a good time hanging out with this German guy. Today we managed to get out on the river which is right behind the hostel and do some Kayaking. It was super fun. We went quite a ways down river and then turned around and came all the way back up. Then we went to the beach but the wind was just to cold. The other day just before we got the hostel we went to a campground near Blenheim that was right on the beach. Here we managed to do some shore casting for the first time. It ended up being really really difficult. I could cast a lot farther than normal with my new rod but not nearly as far as needed. We fished all evening but didn't manage to catch anything. The next day was really bad so we stayed in the car and just hung out. Once the weather cleared I went out and did some fishing again. This time I was a little more lucky and managed to catch a five inch long fish. Lol it was tiny but just the same I caught it. Hopefully in the future I will manage to catch some bigger ones. Looking for a job right now, but might not get one for another week or two. Anyway love everyone at home and miss you all.

Good to hear you made it to Blenheim. It sounds German. By the way, does this German guy have a name?
