Trip day at Christchurch

Woken up early and went to the car in order to orginize a bit the mess until Fred and Juls got up. We would head on our seperate ways, them towards a lovely weekend in Qeenstown and me, all the f... way back home. I wish that wasn't the case!
I got a lemon from the garden as a souvenir from Fred, we said goodbye and i head to the car. Without thinking i went to the driver door! The driver door on the cars righthand side...without thinking like a normal thing. Up untill now i always approached the car thinking left hand driven and aimed for the actual passenger door. Not this time...just when things start to fall into place I need to leave...
And I left, for coffe at the moment in a close by Christchurch beach I hadnt seen. They were surfing there...they were renting surfboards there...i was not sold on getting wet again though. I decided that surfing might happen during another trip, properly and so i just went for a walk to get a better view of the bay which btw looked stunning.
Prepped my stuff, went eating to the pier and returned the car. Now it is just a full day of sitting while being transfered back to reality.
It will take time to get used to the Gothenburg routine again.
And by saying that i realise that it is exactly what is expected from a trip like this. To get you out of your routines, the safe zones and explore new territory both physicaly and mentaly. So it is not about adapting to the routine ìt is about finding new routines for the new 'post New Zealand trip' me!Read more
