Motels in Christchurch - Prices and Reviews

I was very excited when my New Zealand trip finally came around. I packed up and Heather dropped me off at the airport (probably looking forward to a couple of weeks of peace with me away!). Flying into New Zealand was cool. We flew over lots of snow capped mountains and then everything flattens out into the Canterbury plains. I arrived around 3...

Oh the life of a barista. How much more glamorous can ya get?! I've become a pro at latte's, capiccino's, mochachino's, hot chocolates, smoothies, frappes, long blacks, and flat whites. Lookit me go! Everyone at work has been really great. I've even been invited out to the beach and for a few drinks. I'm just the social Canadian chick who says t...

So.. This is our last blog for New Zealand, sorry for not writing for a while but not been up to too much. We moved into our new home in Sydenham, Christchurch with Teo, Marie and little Megan. We loved our new home and our real bed!! (& an electric blanket for me for the cold nights.. not that there have been many!) We both started work Tom...

I have to confess that we have been a little slow updating this site lately and I'm am sitting here on sunday afternoon doing the last three entries before we leave New Zealand tomorrow. I have just watched a full replay of Reading beating Man City on Sky and was going to settle down to watch the Test Match but England had other ideas and at 61 ...

The first thing I noticed about Christchurch as I stepped off of the bus was that it felt very European. The cathedral is in the center of town. There is also the Avon river which really does have someone punting down it. The buildings are very old looking and there are a lot of great parks throughout the city. They did such an excellent job by ...

We left Queenstown at 7am on the 3rd November and headed for Christchurch. We were very sad to leave Queenstown as it was our favourite place in New Zealand, we had sssssssssoooooooooo much fun there, but we were also excited because soon we would be off to OZ. The coach ride was 9hrs altogether, but it actually went quite fast as we just read b...

Heading back to Chistchurch for just the one night, we had an afternoon to kill, so I took myself off to the Antarctic centre. It is an amazing museum full of very interesting facts about the fascinating continent, the coldest, dryest, highest and most untouched continent in the world. Also containing many species of penguins and seals as well a...

having thought we'd not get on the bus this morning - been told we were on the standby list along with 60 others - it was no problem at all. bus half full (or empty...) as ever, i'm afraid it was fab weather and fab scenery all the way (getting as monotenous with the "fab weather, lovely scenery" phrase in nz as i was with "beach and beer" in th...

With our trip to New Zealand nearly over we drove to Christchurch and tried to fit all the purchases we had bought whilst in the camper (other than chairs and bbq) into our rucksacs. Force was required but at least I could say that we hadn't bought 'too' much! After 6 weeks of campervan cooking, we treated ourselves to a meal at Annie's restaura...
