Happy 2 year anniversary Wifey!

Waking up alone was weird enough this morning, but on the top-bunk, on our anniversary was too much! We got ourselves ready, packed our bags and checked out of our hostel before moving onto the place we'd be staying tonight... jail!

Because of the run-in with the Police Nikki had earlier in the week we had to report to Christchurch jail first thing in the morning. Only joking, we'd seen some information about this place that used to be a prison but had been converted to a hostel. We thought it would be a cool place to spend our anniversary night (how romantic). The jail was a lot better than we'd imagined and after getting to our 'cell' we spent a couple of hours getting ready and then went out for a nice meal.

We ate in a place called The Tap Room. The food that we ordered was brought to our table on a 'hot rock', which is a stone that is heated to 400° and you cook the meat (which is raw) to your liking! Nikki had seafood (grouper fish, muscles, prawns, scampi and scallops) and I had crocodile, wild boar and kangaroo. We spent a couple of hours eating and drinking and then walked back to our hostel. Nikki phoned her mum and then we came up to bed - we fly to Australia tomorrow... yippee!

I hope this is the only time we spend behind bars on this trip!
