Saturday, 1st August
Greetings from Christchurch, New Zealand. We landed in cold and wintry Christchurch on Thursday night. We explored the city on Friday and did some ice skating and headed out to check out the bars on Friday night. Ending up having a great night, bopping until the early hours in Sullivans Irish bar. Needless to say, we suffered today, but still managed to drag ourselves out of the bed and get a bus to the beautiful little seaside town of Akaroa, East of Christchurch, where the French settled. It is such a pretty town.
We headed out onto the harbour for some dolphin watching. There weren’t many around, but we still saw a few jumping out of the water. So, it’s another early start tommorrow. We are heading down to Queenstown to hit the slopes for a few days. Let’s hope I can get the hang of this skiing thing!
