Hello from Christchurch

The flights here were uneventful. Just some trubulence every now and then to keep us on our toes.

After 13 long hours on the plane from Vancouver we decided to walk to the Domestic terminal at the Auckland Airport. It was about a 20 minute walk. It was well laid out so easy to follow. The fresh air was great. We had 3 hours between flights which was the right amount of time. I was so tired I slept for most of the flight to Christchurch.

It was windy and overcast when we arrived. After getting our car rental we went to tne campground where were are staying. Our unit wasn't ready so we went shopping. After returning ,we unpacked the car, and then collapesed and slept for a few hours. It was so nice to sleep laying down and not moving.

After a light supper, we toured the park. There was a light rain falling. We decided to take in the movie "Die Hard 4" that was showing at the park. This helped us stay up to 10pm making our time adjustment easier.

Today we spent shopping and relaxing. The weather is overcast with sunny periods. Not missing the cold and snow.
