Hi all not dead just been a little busy with the old sightseeing etc to get to a computer an update our blog.
Arrived in Christchurch after yet another delayed flight. Literally bumped into Mom and Dad walking through the terminal, who had unfortunatly just sent our bus transfer off as they thought we hadnt landed.
Finally found the right bloke in the terminal by sending steve off to shout "anyone for Stevenson" which worked quite well!
Hotel was horrible (not) 2 bed suite in old victorian building with spa; swimming pool and gym (none of which we used as usual although we did keep saying we would get up early and go to the gym... yeah right!)
Christchurch is supposed to be the biggest city on the south island, its bleedin tiny! The "cathedral" is a small church, the cathedral in Wakey is bigger and it was dead, i mean no people! It was like walking though town at 5am in the morning when the dustmen are out and it was rush hour!!
Dad hit the sack and mom and I had a mooch (Football was on so no need to ask what Steve did) about town found a supermarket and bought some biccies and tea etc.
Headed out to a really good restaurent in town Cook n with gas (totally recommend it was the best meal we have had to date) had a "little" bit of wine and staggered back to our bijou apartment
The next day we just wandered around town (we had literally seen it all in two hours). Mom and I spent @2hrs on the computer trying to find somewhere to stay at our next town Akoroa.
This is no doubt extremely boring to read, but that kinda sums up Christchurch i'm afraid.
