G'day folks! We're finally in New Zealand! We arrived in Christchurch at 11 at night, and had to meet the Kiwi Experience bus at 7.45 the next morning. Suffice to say, we were quite tired after! Day 1 was Christchurch to Kaikoura. On the way to Kaikoura we stopped to see a seal colony.

We were told that the fires were at least 30k away, so we were safe. We were picked up early in the morning by a big fat guy resembling Homer Simpson when he was wearing the pregnancy dre...

Just a wee note to say that I'll put up more photo's and a blog for Melbourne when I have a bit more time. We're busy trying to organise stuff today.
