Cervical Mucus After Complete Hysterectomy

Christchurch and return to Anakiwa 19th to 23 July and not so beautiful ...

After skiing, we spent two days in Christchurch, where the car's original color and Mark got a new haircut. The title misled you hopefully not to the false assumption that one of them looked not behind ordinary than before - no, the investment has paid off in both cases :-) And the city has also dropped us quite well. There is a picturesque promenade along the river, which runs directly from downtown to our hostel, nice cafes, a place outside the cathedral, which always has a lot going on, old trams, the remarkable Way by taking passages, an indoor bus station and nice people who sit in the hostel on the corridor floor to make the call because they would otherwise never have mobile phone reception.

We have spent a great day in the Antarctic Center and have been around on an outdoor trail with the Hägglund - that is the small fast car with which they rumflitzen there quite steep and sloping, bridge chasms and swim. prevail in the cold chamber in the Antarctic temperature and light conditions, you may experience a storm. Most impressive was the huge screen, the images of the pristine landscape shows. In short, it was so interesting that Antarctica another "Since I will gladly go there "has become target for Markus.

evening we unsuspectingly into bed. The hostel is the way in a marked" no cruising "zone. I Have A but still roar past a few lowered cars one to have. Anyway, we were in the middle of the night awake, when suddenly the door was open. I'm a frightened, where according to me, after which we heard someone running away quickly. As the next room are all empty, it is unlikely that someone has just made a mistake in the door. Very disturbing. Fortunately, we were going to leave the next day anyway to Picton. There we already knew the hostel (and the doors can only be opened from inside or key) and made a short stopover, and then to move on to Nelson. There is the last chance to make a bulk purchase and stock up well before the Queen Charlotte track and then go into rural Anakiwa. Nelson also has excellent hostels. We have this time made comfortable in the shortbread Cottage. For dinner we sat by the fire and there was spaghetti with pesto in it and, unfortunately, a finger nail. Very disgusting. We recorded with the producer contact, which then asked us to return the thing. Now we hope that they send us to replace a new pesto wrap, as we have no interest in the other nine also to collect more. Are eager to see how great service is our hallmark.

PS: A few weeks later we received a letter of apology in Anakiwa ( The Quality team have said that it is a finger nail ... ") and a voucher.

Skifoan 15 - 19 July

Three days in Methven - Mt Hutt Village Skifield - were different than expected. Although we were already prepared for that skiing here is very different in Europe, but still we were somewhat surprised to arrive in Methven and see far and wide only flat land.

a snowball in July

irritating thing was the info that you can drive by car to Skifield and that lasts from Methven only about 35 minutes. We could only believe it when we saw it in the morning itself. The Gravel Road takes one directly to the parking lot at the start two of three chairlifts. Welcome to New Zealand's most diverse ski area.

Mt Hutt - all must be driven within the Boundary ... can

Ratzfatz we had identified our favorite track, because there are not many runs, just a hut with a café and lift it also enter without waiting (though still have school holidays).

Morning Glory, our favorite. Blue is the way moderate.

there was enough time to take some pics, pack the camera too comfortable in the car, watching the Keas in the parking lot and back to the gondola lift to the top.

mood in Snow

is après-ski, we could in the evening between the "Blue Bars" and "Brown Bars" option. Have drunk in both a beer, have been informed of kiwis on the horse race culture and an Australian has told us very proud of what he can say in German: "Kitty in de Forest" :-)

The next day was foggy and with the weather report we received advice that snow chains are necessary. Which can be rented at half the distance. They are assembled from two completely clad in mud people who spend the whole day there in the fog and obviously had a lot of fun. I would not have want to exchange, for only a few hundred yards you emerge from the clouds and the sun.

comes after nearly 14km gravel road, the ski area - all lifts in the picture.

On the last day we were lucky with the weather and especially with our parking lot. From which we could directly down the first slope to the lift, we had not even tried. And by "directly" I mean that we could put on your skis on the car. Another run and the sledding hill end right next to our car, nice!

The best of the day was that we finally married at the steepest part of the Skifield: Bob's Knob. There it goes down almost vertically, and also the best snow does not help: If you have the misfortune to fall down, you slip the rest of the way on the bottom (even seen, not to happiness itself experienced). To get there you drive the "Virgin Mile" on the crest of the hill past the "Splatter Platter" and can not decide at all, in which direction you look like, because the view is great everywhere.

The small dots in the middle of skiers are on Bob's Knob. The Virgin Mile turn left on the ridge.
