Tarde en el Sembrador
Last Sunday before coming back to NZ
We spent the afternoon chilling out in the swimming pool, drinking mate and eating of course!

Getting Buenos Aires
It was a trip 16 hours longer than expected. Starting in Welli, the departure at 11:30 am was great, at the airport were Hannah, Brett and Peter saying chau.
Once in Auckland, received a call from the airline saying my flight from 5:30pm to Santiago is delayed until 3:00 am... sorry, blah, blah.. :-( Nothing to do about it. So, went to the pre-arranged hotel nearby the airport. At the hotel, like me there were many other latinos coming from other NZ cities and Australia waiting for the same flight. Many Brazilians which means a carioca atmosphere animated with conversations in Portugués.
At 3:30am Tuesday, we were leaving New Zealand. The flight was ok, I could sleep well, thanks to the jet lag pills though. So watched just one movie and had short conversations with my neighbours.
We get Santiago at 10:30 pm Monday which means we lost the last flight of the day to BA. Well, at least we crossed the ocean safely.
Got my luggage and surprise: the padlock was broken and lost that could mean that my suitcase was open on the way.... not good. Did it a claim and found that there were other people making claims as well for the same issue.
It was 1:00 am Tuesday and we were still at the airport waiting for being transported to a hotel. We took the bus to the hotel and went to the closest one, for our surprise there were no enough rooms in there! Plan B was to accomodate us in another one but in a far way location somewhere in Santiago. Probably was 1 hour bussing, not sure, I was so tired.
We got finally the place we were going to, did the 2 calls I needed and had a short sleep time.
By 8:00 am at last we were leaving Santiago, crossed the glorious Andes mountains and landed in Buenos Aires on time! 9:30 am.
My mum was waiting for me, thanks mum for being there!
And finally a funny thing happened when we arrived home. Look at this pic
The clock on the wall was indicating almost the same time as my watch having the NZ time. I asked my mum: do you have the clock with the NZ time? and she said no.... that clock doesn't work from long ago..... :-) misterious thing though...
Tired of reading, me too... thanks anyway for your getting here :-) I will try later to post more about my visit to BA.

Castlepoint
Por Labour Day que aquí es como el día del trabajador, nos tomamos el fin de semana largo.
Con un grupete de amigos entre ellos 2 argentinos mas, fuimos para Castlepoint. Un pueblito al noreste de la isla norte. 3 horas y media manejando, mas o menos, desde Wellington.
Un lugar de muucho viento, demasiado diría yo, pero que cuando se calma es un pequeño paraíso.
Aquí una vista del faro, parte del paisaje madrugador de las 6am. ¿Qué hacía yo tan temprano levantado? No lo recuerdo.
Ah, si quieren ver fotos en serio vayan a este link, que son fotos de Roger, un talentoso, parte del grupo de amigos de ese fin de semana.

los cantores de la playa
Bueno, hace mucho que no ando publicando nada de lo que esta sucediendo por esta isla. No es vagancia. Hay un grupo de amigos con la que estamos compartiendo momentos como este.
Musicales nosotros, sin mas audiencia que el quieto mar y algún que otro transeúnte, iluminamos la noche con nuestras voces.... bueh,... ¿No será mucho? No sé, pero de divertirnos seguro. A ver cuando me hago otro ratito para publicar algo...

Tramping Mt Holdswortth
Esta fue mi segunda salida de tramping en NZ. Como guía y líder estuvo el experimentado Neal.
Hicimos Mt Holdsworth sin mucha prisa. Un día de ascenso saliendo por la mañana, haciendo paradas cada tanto para descansar y comer. Llegamos a nuestro destino mas bien tarde, cuando el sol ya estaba bajo. Menos mal la última parte del camino era abierta y en descenso parcial hacia el refugio.
Cuando llegamos al refugio ya habían otros llegados previamente preparando su cena. Preparamos nuestra cena con hambre y cansancio encima, lo cual hizo que la comida supiera mas rica todavía.
Fue bueno compartir el momento post-cena con los otros grupos que pasaban la noche en el refugio. Charlas amenas y risas por chistes, varios de los cuales pude entender!
