Ok so this would be called Catch Up but I am tired of saying that.  So we went on another trip to Christ Church.  We woke up really early and left so we could get to the train on time.  When we got there I was getting stressed out because there were a lot of people getting on and of busses and trains and I also felt like we were in the way.  I finally followed my dad outside because he was feeling the same way.  The train ride took forever but it was fun.  When we got there we just wanted to get to the hotel so the cab I got in took us the way that had more stop lights.  When we got to this one area we had to sit for like 20 minutes because of traffic.  We found out that the Chinese New Year was going on and it was the lantern festival.  There was also this meadow and it was filled with dandelions and you know I just don't like dandelions sometimes.  You won't get what I am trying to say.  It is an inside joke.  Anyway when we got to the hotel there was a mix up and somebody took one of are two rooms.  You have to remember that my grandparents are here.  So we just went to are/our room for a minute.  Then people got hungry so some went to eat and the others stayed home.  I was in the other group.  While they were gone I had a horrible shower because the little pump that was soap for your hair and body was empty and I did not realize that until I was in the shower.  When they got back they gave me my food and it was literally meat and some chips.  I was starving so I just went ahead and ate it.  When we woke up again at another early time we called a cab and headed back to the train station.  We rode back to Greymouth  to are/our favorite motel.  I am not sure if I have said this but I have not seen a single hotel here.  They are all motels and they are pretty nice.  So we got there and chilled out for a few minutes.  We tried different methods to cure the itchiness of the sandfly bites.  My dad got a cigar and basically burnt himself while my mom and I got clear nail polish and covered the bites.  They both worked but the cigar helped more.  We also found out there was a Gypsy Fair going on and people with big busses with balconies and bedrooms were driving down the road.  Then me, my dad, my mom, and grandma, and grandpa went to go see the pancake rocks and blow holes.  This was cool.  The pancake rocks looked like stacks of pancakes and the blow holes were holes in rocks that connected to the Tasman Sea in this little gulf type things and when big waves would come it would shoot water through the blow holes like steam.  Then we went back to the motel.  We woke up again and started for home.  When we got back to town me and my sister were dropped off at volleyball because it was starting right then and my sister had to go barefoot because she did not have shoes.  It was fun because we got to pick teams and just play against each other.  Then we went home and ate dinner and all went to are/our rooms so we could get some rest.
