It's Over

  Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand
Sunday, December 14, 2008

Today we got off the boat, But because I didn't get to bed until 4 I slept through 3 announcements.  I woke up as they announced floor 7.  So quickly dressed and ran up barefoot.
 
But I passed and I was allowed to enter the country.
 
Then it was a bus ride to the airport where I picked up the new NZ mobile and left the luggage.  Because the others were flying out today I hung around at the airport.  We walked over to the Antarctica centre.  But we didn't go in (it was NZD78) as we had just left the place.  Rahul did some shopping and off to find lunch.
 
We found a nice winery opposite Russley golf course.  Klaus, Rahul and I had a nice time sitting out in garden in the sun.  then time to say good bye and I was off to the hotel.
 
The hotel is right in the centre and the room was great.  It wasn't until the morning had I noticed it had no windows.  But great use of mirrors and lighting (and free internet)
 
After my quick walk around Christchurch I realised it was much the same, then I crashed for the evening.
