Misty mountains on the Old Ghost Road, near Reefton, another amazing mountain bike trail in New Zealand. I'm lucky enough to know a few people that are always up for adventures (and single malt). The Old Ghost Road is perfect for that. Just don't fall down that mountain wall. Unfortunately we couldn't do the full trail since all the huts were fully booked except for one, but that only means that I can look forward to do the full trail another time.

Jag kom till Christchurch precis i tid till Lantern Festivalen dar man firar Apans ar. Jag har aldrig sett den tidigare, och den lyste verkligen upp Hagley Park med lampor, musik och firande manniskor. For mig var det nastan en kulturchock att komma fran direkt fran Roxburgh och se alla dessa manniskor pa ett och samma stalle!

I arrived in Christchurch just in time for the Lantern Festival, where the year of the Monkey is celebrated. I've never seen it before, and it really lit up Hagley Park with lights, music and celebrating people. It's kind of a culture chock to come straight from Roxburgh to see all these people gathered in one place!
