Cold

Obviously the teasing about the heat has gained some sort of negative karma - the temperature has dropped, last night was very cold! It has not got better throughout the day either, its still chilly and there was a sudden and unexpected thunderstorm after lunch. The sky darkened, thunder rolled and the rain came down, heavy as small rodents flung out of the sky and just as noisy.
We were concerned our tent would have been flattened, but it seems to have miraculously withstood the onslaught. I have spent the day reading a sci-fi book (the second of the three I found in the lounge) and Alex Mayaed away the day with some helpful online tutorials.
We have no nice foods at all left, just endless grim fish fillets and kumara to fill the hunger. We have one cookie left between us (who sells cookies in packets of nine? It is cruel and unneccessary) and nothing else but the tempting smells of the other campers cuisines, all who have for some reason started making Thai curries full of fresh ingrediants, no doubt with their paychecks...Czechs are obviously more employable than we are.
Anyway. 8 days to go and we can go back to Auckland, our hotel and the rest of our holiday!
