lynn in nz
I arrived safe and well after a day and a half of travel if a little groggy from the time travel (back to LA, then forward to NZ). I've walked most of Christchurch by now and been to the Botanic Gardens. I went to the cinema last night with three girls from my dorm and even got in cheap as I had a hostel card. This morning I went to the Aquarium which is just across the road from the hostel. I didn't manage to see the tuatara as it must have been hiding but I did get into the Kiwi House and saw a North Island Brown Kiwi. It was agitated as there had been a loud child in before me and when I went in it was bouncing along the enclosure like it was on a pogo stick. It was jumping around beside the glass just a foot from where I was standing. I'm not sure if it was the male or female as I went in twice and the first guide said it was the male but the second said it was the female. I have booked to go on the TransAlpine railway tomorrow so I hope to start taking photos in earnest. I still have to sort out my car hire before Monday as I am to check out of the hostel then.
