After a very tiring week of very hard work and little sleep I finally had the day off! Leone and I headed straight to the beach in Abel Tasman National Park, Kaiteriteri. It was a gorgeous sunny day with a nice breeze. We stopped along the way to buy freshly picked apricots and cherrys from local farmers. It was delicious to say the least! We spent most of the afternoon on the beach, just relaxing and swimming in the ocean. It was on the way home that I found my christmas present had arrived from home, I was very excited! It was only when I got back to the cafe to pick up the present, that I realized I really never had the day off and was supposed to be working.. It wasn't a big problem and in my excitement I didn't really care, so Leone and I rushed back to her place to open the pressie.
I must say it is a very strange thing opening a christmas present while eating freshly picked corn on the cob and drinking red wine after spending the entire day on the beach enjoying the sun and ocean. Back to the point.. this girl did NOT wait in vain, for it was the most wonderful thought through christmas present ever! It was absolutely lovely, thank you so much!
The rest of the night was spent eating norwegian chocolate with ice cream and freshly picked raspberries from the garden. YUM
Seeing as half the stuff I got was christmas stuff it was only right to have a christmas evening! So after work the next day we went to Annabelle and Regens place, where after eating some more corn on the cob, we watched a christmas movie and baked gingerbread cookies. They were absolutely delicious! Like a little taste of home, even though Dad's cookie dough is much better. We sadly did not have anything to decorate them with, but oo they were delicious!
For the rest of the week I've been swapping between listening to Kraakesolv and the christmas cd I got.
christmas may have come late, but it came to Murch at last!
