Hi Everyone! So we have reached our final destination in New Zealand...Christchurch. It's fair to say that its not the most interesting of places, in fact many Kiwi's describe it as the boring city. There isn't a whole load to do or see here - there's a cathedral and some gardens and thats about it. Our bus driver told us that a day here was plenty of time....unfortunately we will be here a grand total of 5 days by the time we fly out! excellent forward plan...

I've already mentioned Dunedin in my previous journal entry.\ From there we headed to Curio Bay, which is within the Catlins. We stopped off at Nugget Point at walked to the lighthouse.

Funnily enough we were the last people to leave the restaurant and one lucky waitress was giv...

To celebrate our final night together we are going for a meal in a restaurant that sits high on a cliff overlooking Queenstown - it should be really nice! Some of th...

We are now in Queenstown for the next 4 days. I expected it to be a lot bigger than it is, the way people were talking about it.....but then again compared to most places in New Zealand it is huge!! It has at least 5 shopping streets! We went out last night which was good fun. They dont seem to have nightclubs here in New Zealand but the bars are pretty good and there is always a dance floor so I'm happy! We were lucky enough to be joined by Jesus for the ev...
