Update on the first trip comes here:
We went to Christchurch and Mt. Cook in then beginning of the holiday, and it was great!
Day 1: We got up at dawn and went off to CC early in the morning. Stayed at Charlies Backpackers.... not too great with hot/cold showers.. hm. wouldn't recommend it. But the company was good! Me, Joanne, Regina, Felicia, Kunihiro, Tarz and Wilson (Regi's boyfriend). When we got there we had lunch and did a lot of souvernir shopping, and then it was off to the brewery! Ahh.. CD is sooo good. Wish it was easier to get it here. After the brewery we went to the museum for 1 hour and we went punting on the river. Soooo relaxing... :) To top it all off we went to a good restaurant in CC that was a buffet, and we all ate till we burst. Then we walked back to the backpackers. (it took ages..)
Day 2/3: Aoraki/Mt. Cook! It was very beautiful... :) The bus ride took 5 hours, and then we were surrounded by mountains and snow (look but don't touch) on the tips. No Keas! *sigh* They only stay in the snow, so we didn't get to see any. BUT: we heard them!! And they sound sooo cute... ^_^ Beautiful cheeky birds. I'll have more chances to see them in the wild I guess, still have a lot of time in NZ. We thought they would be at Kea point, but that was just a name... Oh well. It was a great trip anyway! Nice to get away from the city for a change.
Day 4/5: Back to CC. We ate a good dinner when we got back. (xcept for Jo, she was sick. poor Jo. : / ) then we were off to our homestays, there was no accommodation, bcause of the lions game, so Me and Tarz stayed with a vic-house mate, Andrew (sandy candy handy)
The last day we went on the Christchurch Gondola. It was cool, great view! We all went mad shopping for souvernirs the last day.
then it was back to good old Welli.
