Day 64: Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

December 4, 2010

I dont know why I made this a separate post as I didnt sleep between my last post and this one, but it was a different day I guess. I got back to the hostel and had a quick shower, grabbed my stuff and wasted a bit of time waiting for the shuttle to pick me ...

Day 63: Mt Cook to Christchurch

December 3, 2010

Two of my roommates were fairly noisy when they woke up, but that’s alright because I wanted to get an early start anyway, especially seeing as a school group were staying at the hostel. I quickly jumped in the shower, grabbed some food, and headed out for the drive to Christchurch. It was probably about ...

Day 62: Mt Cook

December 3, 2010

I managed to get a sleep in, well I did wake up early but just stayed in bed seeing I was in no rush today. I lazed around the hostel and watched most of them check out, before heading up to the Hermitage to get some food for breakfast and something to snack on while ...

Day 61: Queenstown to Mt Cook/Aoraki

December 3, 2010

Another early morning wake up, so I had a shower and walked around Queenstown a bit after 8. Queenstown is a funny place, apparently the adventure capital of the world, so people are either here to do day trips (like Milford Sound) which they leave for before 8, or here for adventuring and also partying, ...

Day 60: Milford Sound Day Trip

December 3, 2010

Had to wake up nice and early today as I was going on a bus trip out to Milford Sound leaving at 7.20am. I was ready early so I just wandered around the streets of Queenstown checking it out a bit before jumping on the bus. I got my ticket through nakedbus so it was ...

November 24, 2010

I woke up ridiculously early this morning (5am) as I wanted to see the sunrise over Lake Matheson, its sposed to be really good. It was a short drive and then 1 1/2 hour round trip around the lake. It was pretty good, and would be awesome in perfect weather, but because it was still ...

Day 58: Greymouth to Fox Glacier

November 24, 2010

Woke up early and just took my time sitting at the hostel and wasting time, drinking coffee, and made myself some breakfast when Dory bought some bread in. Then I woke Keren up as she wanted a lift to Franz Josef, but that was probably the worst decision I made haha. Not that she was ...

Day 57: Christchurch to Greymouth

November 24, 2010

Wasted a bunch of time in the morning at the hostel as I didn’t want to leave too early and in peak hour traffic. From there I headed out of the city and towards Arthur’s Pass, the road across the mountains to the west coast. I stopped at a few places along the way, even ...

Day 56: Christchurch

November 22, 2010

Got up early and headed out not long after that, the joys of it being summer this side of the world, long daylight hours. I headed the Cathedral Square to a little café for some bacon and eggs for breakfast. From there I headed down to the public library, don’t worry folks, it wasn’t for ...

Day 55: Christchurch

November 22, 2010

Oh 16th November, you disappeared from my life. I will try to remember to party twice as hard next 16th Nov to make it up to you. That’s right, my flight from Hawaii to New Zealand crossed the dateline, so I left late 15th Nov and arrived early 17th Nov. All those hours I had ...
