I made it!!!! =D
I said I won’t leave NZ without being in the ocean once and that’s what I did today. =)
It’s been a really lovely day so I had passionfruit and chocolate ice cream. I managed to drip chocolate ice cream onto my jeans…anyway, while eating it I realized that it’s really really warm and thus probably one of my last chances to jump into the sea without it being some crazy night swim. I went home, packed my stuff and got to Oriental Bay. I swear every single Wellingtonian was at the waterfront today. So lots of witnesses for my swim. No pictures as proof though as Aaron chickened out. =P
Okay, that’s not entirely fair…he was roleplaying the whole day and it’s not like we made a date outta it. It was quite spontanious.
So yeah…I was sitting on the beach considering if or if not…when he convinced me via txt with “Go for it. It’s gonna be a lot colder at night time.”
It was strange to be the only one who went for a swim. *gg* People look at you as if you’re slightly nuts.
And it was quite cool in just a bathing suit. But then I went in just to say I did it. It was mind-numbing cold. O.o I think I probably managed to stay in for a minute. Which equalled about five strokes out and five strokes in towards the beach again. =P What worried me a bit was that I didn’t feel the cold anymore after this minute. I mean, that’s how swimming in NZ works in summer…you just have to wait for the point when you don’t feel the cold anymore…but in winter it might not be as healthy. So I went out.

But yay, I made it!!!!! =D
