New Zealand- Christchurch
Have arrived in NZ. It is gorgeous here and now I can understand why my friend Nicky loves it so much. Seems like an outdoor junky's playground. The scenery is nothing like Australia, which for some reason surprised me.
I am in Christchurch at the moment staying with Selene. My first full day here we did a loooong road trip (800km) to Mount Cook and back. It is the highest mountain in NZ. It was nice to just go for the ride and look out the window at the mountains and sheep.
One of the big things to figure out is how to get from place to place. There are many options, backpacker buses, inter city buses, renting cars, buying cars, hitching, etc. Well we put Selene's
parents to the test and I think her mom has found me a car for $500! That way I can sell it at the end and hopefully make some cash.
I am looking forward to getting on the road and doing some hikes and ocean sports. Maybe even crazy things like canyon jumping and sky diving.
