So it's Thursday here, and that means that in two more sleeps Shelly and I leave for our next adventure...wahoo. I have really enjoyed Hawkes Bay (we are now well known with the Havelock North, Hastings, & Napier area). It's country living and the views that we have seen are A-MAZING!
So, this morning Shelly and I woke up and the house was FREEZING!!! It's been a chilly past few days, so in the morning it is necessary to layer. SO, that being said, when I got up this morning and went to pull one of my hoodies off of the bed post that is RIGHT BESIDE MY HEAD and saw a friggin COCKROACH!..Ewwwwwwww..... They are even in our room now. They are sneaky ninja bugs too...like the other night I went to close the drapes and BANG...face to face with one of those creepy bugs. Yick! The sweet neighbour Jill told us in her sweet brittish accent (oh those things..you just flip em' over and then grab em' by their feelers".....umm.....nah. Usually this is what happens when one of us see them. Well actually..let's talk about Shelly's reaction to a big one that was crawling on the wall last night.
So we had invited our two German friends we met (Anna and Anna- Not confusing at all :)) over for supper. Anna does Accupuncture and I had hurt my knee a few days ago on a hike, so she was going to help me with that while her friend Anna serenated us with her piano skills,. haha. it was amazing! Shelly made THE most AMAZING Quish...Queesh...dammit...dinner...it was Unreal! Her new nickname shall be "Shelly McMartha"
SO...we are at the table eating and Shelly is mid conversation in a really great story and all of the sudden she is like "Um....Emily...." and is staring at the wall. At first I was confused...I was like "how am I a part of this story?" and then I clue in. So we all turn around, and scream (because we are girls, and we can) and ewwwwwwwwww...its crawling on the wall. So Anna (blonde Anna) is like "get me a cup and I will catch it" and I'm like "just get a shoe and kill it" and she is like no it's ok I can catch it and Shelly is like "HURRY- It's going to go in the wall". So Anna casually grabs a cup and paper and catches this nasty thing and she's like "I will put it outside" and we are like "nooo, it will come back in. Flush it in the toilet!" and she's so sweet and is like "but what if it comes back up?" and i'm like "no way....it can't and won't. So we go to the bathroom and she releases the beast into the toilet but feels terrible for killing it so she runs away and I'm all like "Yeahhhh" as I flush it and watch it get sucked up into he black hole of toilet death.
So- kinda funny, later on Anna tells us that she is a vegetarian and Shelly is like "you are a vegetarian and you killed a bug" and her reaction was "NO NO, I DIDN'T PUSH THE BUTTON!" hahahaha....we died...bahaha. I love that girl.
Ok, so now back to today. So we get up, I kill the nasty bug (ewww) and then come downstairs. We have coffee and breaky and then message Anna (blonde Anna- Brunette Anna had to work today). We were going to pick her up at her hostel in Napier and go to the Falls that we had heard of from her- Shine Falls. She had already been there but she said it was so beautiful that she would totally go again.
So we pick Anna up and make our way out of Napier to the Falls. The roads are sooo windy here so when you are driving it's hard to get to see the pretty scenery. Shelly and I will take turns driving, which is awesome. We get to the parking lots aka a field with a sign and we head out. First we are walking through a massive field filled with sheep...and then we head into what looks like Narnia, and then a Forest and then about 45 minutes in we get to the falls. Oh...My..God. I don't know if I have seen something so amazing in my entire life. The sun was shining, and the sound, smell, feel everything about this waterfall was breathtaking. We had a Waterfalls photoshoot and here are some of the pics :)
(they seriously don't do it justice)
Anyways, after the walk back to the car we headed to this beach (I forget the name) and we literally walked onto the beach...touched the water...sat in the sand for a bit...then back to the car. Why? Because i was FREEEEEEEZZZIINNNGGGGG! The wind was super strong, and even though from the inside of a car it looked like a "hot summer day" when you got out it was NOT! It was neat to see it though (That's pretty Neat)
We then headed to "The Thirsty Whale" for a celebration of seeingf epic waterfalls Beer- Naturally. What? It was a tough day..hehe
So we are back home now. Shelly is practicing her piano and I am typing this. Thinking about all my stuff I need to pack, and how we need to make sure that NO Cockroaches come with us on the bus to Wellington....seriously...I will burn my bag. (Ok, that's a big lie- But I WILL scream like a girl and kick it a lot like a crazy person. Well...more than I usually do...hehe.
Oh Ya...and my main thought when we got to the Waterfall was "wow....Mom would absolutely LOVE this" You were there in Spirit Mamma ;)
Oh..and P. S. Remember when I told Anna that the bug will not come back up the toilet? A few hours later she goes into the washroom, and then comes out and is like "Emily- the bug is in the toilet".....whatttttttt? That thing did not want to go! hahahahaha- AS IF!! haha, again...died laughing.
xoxo
