Left Queenstown - again another early morning, shall i stop moaning about them now, and headed for Christchhurch past lake Takapo and Mount Cook. Pretty enjoyable bus ride with time for a 30second picnic by the lake. Picked up Lona again after her Mount Cook hike which was kool! Also found 95.8....wait for it..Twizel Radio. Twizel is the best name for a place ever, I think we should rename everything in England, Suzie Town - i like it! Anyway arrived late into Christchurch and said goodbye to Sam and Kate and Mags for all of 2days. Went to stay with the family of the people I stayed with in Hanmer Springs. Was pretty kool had home cooked shepards pie, and the next day Fiona took me on good little drive around the outskirts of Christchurch. Its really close to the sea- dad you would love it! Plus houses arnt too expensive...hint hint! Stopped for a coffee overlooking Christchurch before heading back to the house for a quick swim. Claire Fiona's daughter took me to the Wildlife place and I finally got to see a Kiwi! Yay! Evening had Thai! Happy days- take me back! Nxt day it was back with Kate on the bus! Had to say goodbye to Sam, oooowwwh- and Me and Kate headed up to north island! Come on!
