Arrived back in lovely Christchurch to find the YHA was full and had to go back to Base. Not happy. Bit of a sleep and down to the post office to send home all the bloody wooden rubbish from Fiji that kept holding me up in customs! Short shopping trip and a most disappointing kinder egg toy later, we holed up in the bar with some asian chick who seemed quite cool if a tad mental.
Next day, back on the green bus for the first time in ages for a trip up north to Kaikoura! arrived early afternoon and spent a few hours whale watching on a boat... Saw Humpbacks, awesome! Then, cooked pasta bolognaise for the first time in months, can still cook real food, hurrah!
Slow start to follow, sun was up and nobody really wanted to do much. Some time around 1.30 a few of us wandered to the local race course for the annual chariot (!) racing, beers and ice creams. I lost 20 bucks. Damn. Back at the hostel, I bbq'ed us some burgers and then we got smashed....
Next day, up early with Canada to do a spot of sea fishing... Caught Perch, Blue Salmon, and a shark.. Yes a f**king shark! It was massive... like a foot and a half long at least!!!! Back to the hostel for an afternoon in the sun throwing a rugby ball around and drinking Tui's (its nice to be back), followed by yours truly wipping up some beer batter for our freshly caught fish fillets, and back on the barbie doing my jamie olive impression! A quick trip to the pub and some aweful film on the telly.. then sleep...
