Sunday, March 11: Christchurch - Akaroa

The 3 Israelis (Liron, Udi, Zion) and I left to Akaroa. Once we got there Udi and I couldn't resist going into the lake, which was very salty and thus turned out to be in fact connected to the ocean (not much of a lake..). The water was chill but not that bad, still cold enough the the other woosed out.

Anyway, after a quick dip we went to this hostel called Onuku (some 3 km from the town), which is up the mountain. As we went up it became apparant that the car was not made for this. At 10km/h at full gas - something was clearly not working proply. So it's a piece of shit. Maybe I'll get rid of it and buy a new one - we'll see.

The hostel was brilliant. Although we had no electricity in our cabin, the place itself was exceptionally nice. I also met this couple from whom I bought some pots, pans, estry, lamp, etc, for 60 bucks. Not a bad deal.

We went back to town for dinner and were recommended this really good pizza. It turned out to be the worst pizza I have ever had (and I've had many)! That together with loosing a couple of games of pool to Trevor and Ingrid (locals) was enough for the evening and we headed back to the cabin. Were we playes some strange board game that I have never heard of, and recall its name. Anyway, I think we might have been rather loud (and obnoxious?) to the neighbors. Oh well..
