Christchurch Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

I have done almost nothing interesting since being in Christchurch, I've shopped, I've had coffee's and I had one terrible phone conversation with a guy about a job at a mini golf/bike hire place. I'm sure I could have done the job with my eyes shut but I don't think I'd have employed me, I can sound like loon on the phone. Unfortunately, my wri...

On the 25 of February we went to the International Antarctic Centre. This is where they plan all the trips and expeditions to Antarctica. It was really cool, literally.      One of the first things we did was an Antarctic Storm Simulation. There was snow on the ground, a pretty nice ice slide, flags, an igloo, a snowmobile, and a windchill machi...

It is now more than a month since I came back from New Zealand - but the New Zealand post service must be very slow, because only now is my post card arriving to this blog.....better late than never, though. Right ? I've got a few good stories and some pictures uploaded, so enjoy the rest of my trip.   Where did I finish last ? Yep, I had just a...

I came to Christchurch and as I visited already during 2 days the city and I did not see in the previous days penguins: I went to Antarctic center: about all the expedition there and you get also a view on a center of breading for blue penguins and also a room where they reproduce in door a storm of wind in polar condition. In the evening I met ...

Yes I've been on the hunt again, this time hampered with a stinking cold which makes it impossible to sleep at night and sends shooting pains up my ear (of all places!) whenever I swallow. Grrr. It makes me speak kinda funny which would probably suggest to you that the wisest thing is not to look for a job that invovles a lot of talking. But whe...

Thought i better do a full week in work seen as i had missed a few in the previous weeks between food festivals and rain days.. Now i mentioned before work is fairly easy going and you can get a away with doing very little at times..(not that i do that..lol)..Anyway the company decided to get a new foreman on site... It may as well be Hitler him...

Can't believe we're into March already. We are now in New Zealand and have started our trip in Christchurch on the South island. After our late arrival, we spent a night at a small motel near the airport but have now picked up our camper van which will be our home for the next month and are staying at a camp site in christchurch. Deborah has nam...

Our travels through the south island also took us to many out of the way places, and some wonderful desolate roadways that crisscross the southern part of the island. We traveled in the beginning and at the end of our trip in a campervan (RV to us. The campervan slept 4, and was an RV on a van chassis. It was very similar to RV's in the states, ...

March 25 ======== Happy Good Friday! We're off to an early start, hitting Lyttleton first - a cute little port town. We stop at the Time ball tower above the harbour (where they used to signal the ships), while enjoying some morning coffee. We then continue driving along the numerous bays and inlets, stopping at the usual - par excellent - cafe ...
