home from work today

I got sent home from work today for being sick so I'm just time wasting now cos I'm not sick enough to be in bed anymore. I hate being sick its so not worth having a day (two actually plus the weekend) off work if I'm stuck inside feeling crappy!!! grr hope I feel better tomo!!

We went to Invercargill last weekend it was pretty cool. Actually it was sunny and really hot, surprisingly (on the Saturday at least)!!! Even made Gore seem like a nice place, no offense to Gore. If you're ever in Invercargill go to the ZooKeeper cafe, its pretty hard to miss it has a big Elephant on the roof (which is why i insisted we go there), the food was really great and our waiter was wearing overalls!! cool wee place!

We went to look at more lighthouses that Jeremy's Grandad was a light house keeper at. We saw Dog Island from the lookout at Bluff, man that's a windswept place if there ever was one!!! And we drove down to Waipapa Point to look at the other one! Waipapa Point is just down the road from Slope Point which is the southern most part of the South Island!! We didn't go there cos it was cold and windy by then.

We drove back up through the Catlins which was really nice, we had only been to the top bit of the catlins before (well Jeremy had, I'd been there with Mum last year). We stoped at Curio Bay with all the fossilised trees, really amazing! and we walked up to the Mclean (or Mclennan??) falls which were beautiful, unfortunatly we forgot the camera on that walk cos they were way better than we expected and very cool.

Another random eating place that was really good was the wee cafe at start of the Mclennen Falls road. Its really flash inside and the food looked really yum (we only had coffee) it was very unexpected being in the middle of nowhere!!!

We also went to the cathedral Caves which were cool too!! They were actually quite scary cos it was dark, (not that I'm scared of the dark but...) and the tide was coming in. Pretty amazing big caves and two that join together, hence the dark!!!
