Jet Lag
It was such a long flight and we felt the toll as although we got some sleep we kept waking up as we were uncomfortable and a little cold. We looked out of the window to see the Southern Alps covered in snow, which we at first thought were clouds as they reached high in the sky. It looked very picturesque out of the window and we were both excited …
Arriving in New Zealand
6th of October
As we were descending into Christchurch on the plane, I could see the Southern Alps clearly. The coldness really hit me as soon as I got off the place, it felt like an English Winter. I then took the shuttle to my hostel and the driver was telling me about the recent earthquakes and that many buildings, churches and people …
Ist es schon Freitag, oder noch Donnerstag?
Nachdem wir nach einem Zwischenstop in Sydney nochmal aussteigen mussten (die 3. Zeitzone in 3 Tagen), damit das Flugzeug gereinigt und betankt werden kann, dauert die letzte Etappe nach Christchurch nur noch 3 Stunden. Mittlerweile sind wir durch die vielen Zeitzonen, unterschiedliche Temperaturen (HK: 15 C, Bangkok 35 C, Sydney???) und wenigen …
World Buskers Festival
Nach dem Frühstück (im Hostel gibt es jeden Morgen frisch gebackenes Brot) gehen wir die Stadt. Heute ist der Himmel strahlend blau, und es ist zumindest in der Sonne warm.

We had a very short but enjoyable 1 night here. There was a little confusion with the free shuttle but eventually got picked up and all was well. The 4 bed room was basic, but had a desk and chest of drawers, bathrooms were average but it had 2 kitchens which was good. People were friendly and nice. Location wasn't bad, only a few blocks out of main drag and short walk to free shuttle.
Would recommend this over other places we stayed in christchurch!

Excellent hostel - picked up from the airport, even took me back the next day to collect my friend. They bake fresh bread every morning for breakfast, which is delicious, and the rooms are all decent sizes. Will definitely stay again!
