Ingrid does have kind of bad influence on me (or good as I prefer to call it, but i think uni have a different view) What happened is that we decided to learn to kite surf (why not?), which is unbelievable cool, but really expensive and time consuming… So we signed up for a three days intensive kite school. Monday till Wednesday… It is just a matter of prioritizing! (a master in engineering doesn’t demand that you work, does it?)
Well, anyway, Monday morning we took the train out to the kite school, and met our teacher Andrew and his girlfriend Manaou (or something like that). Andrew is a guy who decided to never grow up. He is spending his days chatting about his favorite subject (kiting) to nice people, and playing around with the kite on the sea just down by his house, and he get money for it! Manou I would say has done a really good deal in choice of boyfriend. She came here on a working holyday visa, and ended up staying here, living in a beautiful house by the sea, have learned to kite and are now working part time as architect and part time as kite instructor!
There where two people on the course other than me and Ingrid, two old kiwi blokes, two brothers with children our age actually. They had decided to buy their own kites, and start kite surfing, they just needed to learn how to use their brand new kites. They where actually really good! So, mum, it’s hope for you too! (can I borrow your kite then? ;)
Unfortunately, I only got one day kiting… The second day I got sick (first time in nz!) The third day I was still sick, but well enough to try, so I went out there, but the wind was to strong… Luckily Andrew is a decent guy, and give me one extra day on the water for the day I was sick, and everybody got a extra day for the day without wind. SO WE ARE GOING BACK! :D
PS: Did I mention that I love kiting? :)
