Moving from Sydney to Christchurch was a bit of a culture shock but we are now settled into this town. Not a lot here andthe weather is drizzly but we had a pleasant few hours in the museum before going into the cathedral for the boys choir evensong. Tonight we saw a lovely film called An Education. The cinema was very small and you could take drinks in but not as nice as the Rex. We have been blocked again by Abbey and cant load our travel money card AGAIN so maybe contacting one of you for ...

After lengthy on hold phone calls to Abbey and Sam going down to Abbey we were eventually allowed access to our own money. So we celebrated by taking a bus out to Lyttleton which is 20 mins out of Christchurch. Had a lovely coastal walk and fantastic views. Sadly there were a lot of low clouds which blogged the complete range of mountains. Now back at the hotel. We pick up our motorhome on Monday and hit the road so not sure how often we will find an internet cafe when in the open countryside...

We left The Honest Lawyer (and you can bet that we both bought t-shirts), before heading into Nelson for a quick bite. Then, we hit the road to Christchurch. First, we travelled back through Blenheim, before stopping in Kaiakoura (sp?!) for "crayfish". However, despite being famous for crayfish, we had scallops and fish as there was no crayfish on offer! The rain set in somewhat and the clouds kept growing.....but....as we moved south, we were again blessed with sunshine. We arrived at Christ...

There was a VERY early start this morning because we both went to bed so early last night. At 5.30am, the lights finally went on.....we decide a cuppa was in order and then proceeded to watch "Barnyard" - a nickelodeon version of a disney movie. Next we knew, it was 7.30am. Natasha went for a quick run and Natalie attempted to pack her case.....it all fitted! We left the glaciers at about 9.30am, after a quick stop at Full of Beans. The drive to Hokitika, although marred by much roadworks, wa...

It looks lovely everywhere <br><br>Weather was sunny and warm when we arrived but a huge black cloud came over in the evening and the rain came! Today (Thursday) it was cold and wet earlier but now (11.15am), the sun is out again so we're going out to look ...

... t look like a sweaty, stressed out drug mule. Outside and I call the son to meet us with the wagon in the car park. As I walk by the empty bus & taxi area, I observe 2 guys pushing their backpacks quickly into a Subaru whilst the driver kept the car running. The huge, ugly, female, parking Nazi rushed over to the otherwise empty section of the pickup area and shouted at them to remove their bags from the car and meet the driver in the car park 30 metres over. This meant the driver ...

... to do something mad - Queenstown is THE place to go, Options included bungee jumps, canyon swings, shotover jet boat trips, canyoning, whitewater rafting - we opted for skydiving. We were given a safety briefing and then it was straight off to the jump site. We had to wait for about 45 minutes for our turn (there are only two planes) so we got to watch some other people doing their jumps and luckily most came down smiling. Then we got called through and kitted up ...

... sweltering heat. We did an overnight stop in a village called Cheviot about an hour and a half from Christchurch. The lady in the Cheviot Motel belongs Dunedin and gave us a horrible picture of Christchurch but she was biased! Christchuch is a beautiful compact city. We checked into what so far is the best motel we've had (and we've had a few good ones) then walked around a bit to see the city centre and the botanic gardens along the Avon River. Wednesday we did a city tour ...

... in the ferry terminal. Needless to say we got up a little grouchy!!! After breakfast by the roadside in a small town called Richmond we were heading for the Abel Tasman National Park and Lois was driving. She wanted to give me a break as I had driven the whole of the North Island but on these roads and being the control freak that I am, we only made it to Ngarua Caves before Lois insisted that I drive as I had hardly spoken in over an hour and couldn't bare to look ...

... Und in der dritten Huette sogar ein Bad unter den Sternen (die zweite Huette ist fuer die 4 Tages Wanderer, da bin ich nur durchgerauscht). Am ersten Tag muss man zum Kraterrand hinaufwandern, auf einen kleinen Gipfel 699m hoch, am Morgen war es noch recht bewoelkt (auch wenn der Sternenhimmel in der (kurzen, da nur von 23 bis 4 Uhr:-) Nacht sehr schoen war). Aber dann klarte es zum Glueck auf. Man wandert ...
