No worries mate

Now in NewZeland!

Christchurch is a beautiful city, very english, everyone is very friendly. I feels a little weird to be the one with the accent, people giving you weird looks or constantly saying, "excuse me?". Yesterday we arrived in the country through Auckland, the POE and then flew down to Christchurch (aptly named, there are about a hundred churches and half of the stores are closed on Sunday) where we spent the remainder of the day wandering around and looking at the sites and shops. There is this little coffee shop right down the block from where we are staying with a nice little patio area where a cup of tea or coffee (they have amazing coffee here) buys you a front row seat for people watching or soaking up the spring sunshine.
Yes its spring here, to give you an idea, the camelias are blooming and some cherry trees are blooming, everything else is pretty much bare.

We felt like real tourists yesterday, we were taking pictures of what would be considered the native pigion, which is actually more of a petite seagull, except its call sounds like a screaming baby, we mistook a power box for a trash can, and tried to flush the toilets by poking the only thing that looked like a handle, which was actually the part where the water came out.

I have pictures to come, no opportunity to download them here, that should be in a couple of days at the earliest, the soonest we will fly out is tomorrow, but we are all praying that we will be delayed here in chch for at leat a couple of days.

I'm off to the Clothing Distribution Center (CDC) to get outfitted for big fuzzies.
