Hitching To Wanaka


This past weekend from Thursday to Sunday, my friend Dane and I set out for Wanaka to do some mountain biking in the vast trials. We began early morning hitchhiking and it took us 7 rides to eventually get there but we met some really interesting people. A sampling includes: a guy name digger, a mom and her son, and a man on the way back from the dentist! We had a beautiful weekend of weather, and got in a little sun bathing on the beach! Unfortunately when we set out to leave saturday afternoon we were not graced with the same good fortune of our other ride. We got stuck in a little town of Roxburgh for 3.5 hours while we waited for a ride. Finally throwing in the towel we got a room for the night. AFter hitching for 2.5 more hours the next morning we gave in and got a bus back to Dunedin. All-in-all a fun but frustrating experience.

When i returned to Dunedin Sunday afternoon I headed to the beach with the Frisbee team for a BBQ to celebrate a teammates birthday, although somewhat cloudy it was a really fun time.
