morning from beautiful and freezing New zealand!!!! we have finally managed to book a week of skying in queenstown for the 16th of july (after school holidays) and take advantage of a 10 day gap to cruise around south island in a van. we waited a few hours in Christchurch to have our van ready, but the fiats ducato (the modern ones ) had all a problem or were dirty so instead we got the grandad van which is normally more costly and in which you can only do 100 km...

good morning from cold christchurch, after a flight from tropical Bali to sydney and one stressful hour of running not to miss our flight to New zealand, we made it on time to christchurch and getting used to the cold. today our task is to get information about skying packages, but as it is the school holiday for two weeks , we better wait. may rent a van tomorrow and go cruising the west coast and the south coast of south island.... bye
