Crumbly Christchurch
... storage containers set side by side to create individual shops. It looks incredible. Me and Jen tried to do a few cultural bits in the day but as half the city is shut off and the other half is still not great there wasn't loads. We went to the museum to learn some Maori stuff and about people settling in new Zealand. As it was the last place to be inhabited though it doesn't have loads of history because even the Maori came from Polynesia. It's weird being in a ...

Land of the Long White Cloud, Part I
... scenic route, full of steep cliffs and tunnels, ending up in a town called Te Anau, where we broke up the driving by stopping for a while. There wasn't much to do here other than eat the most AMAZING steak pies in the world and play a round of mini golf in which Snellers had a nightmare and gore emerged victorious!
