Hey i am so excited off to a new location and new country which is a great feeling after being stuck in sydney for 7 days. and those at the end where pretty long days.
So left Sydney at 9:30am and arrived in Christchurch at 2:30pm. i am now 13 hrs ahead, and looking on a globe it appears i am pretty much exactly half way round the world. wow scary thought i think. but pretty exciting at the same time.
So the sun is shining weather is sweet. Not a really hot day, but still sun is better then bloody rain. Yeah i bet a get a few comments about it, seen as i have been rubbing it in for england. wonder if it is still raining there.
So got to christchurch, i am in a hostel called cokeys, which my sister informs me she stayed at, says it is a good one, lets see. First impressions it looks old, but it is big.
So did the usual went round christchurch, did the walk around thing and get to know the place. went to a information centre, there quite a few things i wanna do round here, like the lord of the rings city rohan was filmed round here and they do tours, white water rafting and a few others.
at the moment i just got some leaflets, to give me this evening to look over them and decided what i wanna do.
So treated myself and got a KFC for dinner, went back to the hostel meet some room mates, not sure there name now, some koren guy and some american which didn't actually introduce himself anyway. well nevermind.
Went down to the bar, had one beer to celebrate getting out of oz alive. lol. Then got kicked out the bar as there wasn't enough people in there to keep it open. how shit is that.
So went to the TV room, meet a lovely women called lorry ( i think) she was a american chinese women, with dreads, not seen that before, she has had a heavy night and was watching movies all day. anyway watched another movie with me, and i went to bed pretty much after that.
