Rangitata

Today was the last proper day spent in New Zealand. The night before was the last time I'd see Paul, Stevi and Jess who had all stayed the extra night in Queenstown. But today I met the Kiwi Experience girls (two Brits: Lucy and Nadine, and two Danes: Rekke and Henriette) who were also here in Rangitata to experience one of only two level 5 rafting trips in the country. As it turned out it was actually quite relaxing: a nice sunny day with some gentle paddling. You could even drink the water and it tasted so fresh. We did manage to flip the boat once, but the water was comfortably warm. Later that evening we arrived in Christchurch, and I flew out the next day.
