This past weekend even though we were meant to go with friends to Lake Tekapo we decided to stay in Christchurch and enjoy what we have close by.
Friday we found a sushi place by our house. Strangely Kiwis eat sushi that consists of cooked chicken and tuna salad but the Japanese woman working at the restaurant spotted that we were Americans because we ordered the raw maki rolls. They were soooo good! We enjoyed the rolls with some beer on our balcony which was really relaxing.
Saturday we did some shopping and Sunday we drove out to Taylor's Mistake again to do the detours on the hike that we didn't have a chance to do last time. We brought snacks and just enjoyed the outdoors together. It is still crazy to think that we actually live here. It really puts things in perspective when you have scenery around all the time that is so incredible and peaceful.
Monday we slept in and Trey surprised Jocelyn with breakfast in bed with strawberry champagne!!! He even garnished it with a strawberry. Good man - he knows that if he wakes Jocelyn up before 10am on a "weekend" he better bring the bubbly!
It was truly a perfect weekend. In 3 weeks we are off to Sydney. We are going to be planning our itinerary over the next few weeks and are doing research on restaurants in Sydney so they can splurge one night on a gourmet meal :)
