christchurch, our team decided to walk to the beach from the camp we&#8217;re staying at. seems simple enough. we heard the beach was a 15 minute walk away so we started off around 7 at night hoping to be home before nightfall. we ended up getting lost and walking parallel to the beach in a forest for 8 miles until we finally got to the beach through a sandy, overgrown horse trail. needless to say, it was a grand adventure. we found a hedgehog which we lovingly named kent, took tons of silly photos, stargazed on the beach, found a street called &#8216;stalker road&#8217; and made up our own stupid jokes to keep us entertained on the long, dark walk back. needless to say, it was one of those nights even pictures, which supposedly say 1000 words, would never begin to describe. and we all know those are the best kind of nights <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1110.beta.photobucket.com\/user\/heyhayley6\/media\/new%20zealand\/forest\/HSO_4154.jpg.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img
