Still trying to avoid Christchurch as much as possible, I took my refuge in kaikoura, a small village about 2,5 hours north of christchurch. It is well-known for its marine life, and we're talking a LOT of marine life. Tomorrow, I've got a date with the dusky dolphins and I'll be damned if they don't show up. Today though, I was planning on mending my poor, overused wallet and stay to doing cheap stuff. You see, New Zealand is stuffed with s*** to do. Australia ...

The hobo has landed. Finally made it to new zealand, after years of yearning and waiting and hoping I have actually made it here. The flight in was breathtaking, with the southern alps unravelling in front of the airplane followed by gently ondulating slopes in the flatland around christchurch.

Feels damn good! After 4 days of training and studying, and one duck-duck, we finally got our diving card. 6 dives in total although visibillity was pretty crap for most of the dives and you could barely see your own fins we still saw amazing coralls and beautifull fishes on every dive. Aming for at least 12 dives and 2 speciallity courses before the end of the year. But it's been 4 great days, with real-Jo, trampstamp Joe and duck-duck Tim. Thanks heaps for the...
