Christchurch

Wow are we both tired... After waking at 5am, waiting in queue after queue, and a flight that seemed a lot longer than the three hours it was supposed to be, we nearly fell asleep at our dinner table.

The flight over was largely uneventful, however flying over the alps was absolutely stunning! Truly an incredible sight to behold. We can't wait to see them uo close. Naomi also had a bit of a scare when we unexpectedly encountered some rather severe turbulance. I thought it was all great fun, but when we experienced a sudden drop that lifted everybody out of their seats simultaneously, Nomi couldn't help but let out a but of a frightened squeal.

We spent our afternoon recovering from the flight, and doing a bit of driving and sightseeing around the city of Christchurch. Tomorrow however, we're heading North to Kaikura, where we have booked a whale watching tour, which by all accounts will be an awesome experience.

Unfortunately we have no net access in our room today, but I have no photos of note to share yet. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to show you all some whales :)

Till then, seeya later!
