Hey everyone!
Our final day in Queenstown was pretty non eventful...we did our washing, sorted out our bags, had one final Fergburger and said our goodbye's to people. The following day was a 9 hour bus journey to Christchurch. Surprisingly the journey went quite quickly and we actually got speaking to some cool people during the journey. En route, we stopped off to get a great view of Mount Cook which was 'sweet as'! When we arrived into Christchurch we were met by some people we thought we were not going to see again which was awesome, and we all went out for dinner before heading to the hostel bar to see a sweet Juggling show.
On our first full day in Christchurch we went to the gym (felt the need for some excercise for some strange reason!) and then me, Claire and Tom took a picnic to the bontanical gardens and lay there all day. AT night we went to teh bar where they had a Magic show which was pretty cool and then we all went up to the Penthouse (its basically still dorm rooms but on the top floor and they have their own tv room and kitchen - Dave (one of our friends) was staying there so we got to use all the facilities 
) with some wine and chilled out.
Day 2 in Christchurch - we hung out around Cathedral Square and went to the markets where we bought some Poi (really hard to describe...kinda like ribbon dancing stuff) and then went back to the park to practice with them. We then had a look round the Art Centre which was really cool. At night, we went to one of the suburbs for dinner with come of Claire's friends (she was working in Christchurch prior to the Kiwi Experience) which was really fun - it was nice to hang out with some Kiwi people rather than just travellers for a change.
Now we are in Kaikoura where we have spend the day chilling out by the beach and continuing with the practice of poi. I dont have enough money to go whale watching so i gave that one a miss. Tomorrow we are heading back into the North Island to Wellington.
Speak soon xxxxxxxx
