今天是在Abel Tasman海岸划船的第三天，比起昨天要顺利多了，可能是熟能生巧吧。 今天也是个充满许多生平的第一次的一天：第一次力战激流，第一次沙滩瑜伽，第一次在潮落的浅滩上掰生蚝，第一次在日落后迅速降温的营地生火煮饭，还有第一次有在没有月亮的夜里仰望着繁星漫天。 上午Torrent Bay涨潮时我们趁水位高把皮艇托下了水，没想到因为是涨潮时间，潮水直往泻湖里灌。我们的小船逆潮而上，根本不是潮水的对手，划了半天，胳膊都酸了，但却跟没动一样在原地踏步。这样下去可不行，我只好狠下心一咬牙拼了老命埋头苦干的用力划起来，就当快划爬下的时候，回头一看，哟，居然已经冲出激流啦~~~把我给高兴的！ ...

So i'm one month in, and one month to go. It's certainly going to be a game of 2 halves. First = party. 2nd = culture (+ party). The rugby was great, the home team won. You can't beat a good live-at-the-game atmosphere. Next, in Kaikoura, I went ... Read more >
