Plans where to jump on the Kiwi-Experience this morning but unfortunately no bus so I was forced to stay another day in Christchurch and booked my bus for tomorrow morning, 7:45am. Not that that was really a pity, "Saints and Sinners" is a quite nice bar, belonging to and downstairs Base Backpackers so I booked in for yet another night making it a total of 3 nights @ Base.
I had some quite nice conversations monday, yesterday didn't really talk to anyone but still had a good time drinking a couple of pints of TUI's (which is even better than the ozzie TOOHEYS) and hanging around. Christchurch is extremely relaxed, wandered around the city and parks yesterday en today and feel totally relaxed right now. It's even better than Cairns. Cold, really cold, try to smoke a cigarette in your longsleeve at 11pm and Schotchmen start yelling that they'll quit as this is killing. But surprisingly the cool weather adds something to the Christchurch feeling, it just feels right to sit in your Driza-Bone on a bench in a park and doing nothing at all then just listening to the sounds around you.
So that's it for now. 'Will go for some food (McDonalds or something) and then make my backpacks Kiwi-Experience ready and take a shower before I head to the bar for some company and maybe 2 or 3 pints. Bit sad if I have to wake up my whole room at 7:00am because I'm too stupid to make sure that the only thing tomorrow I have to do is put my clothes on, grab my bags and go.
Tomorrow I'll head up north with the Kiwi Expericene to Kaikoora (?) and from now on I'll probably start updating once a week, once every couple of days again as my days will be less empty than the last 3 :-)
BTW it's just 33 days before I'm finally home. That's really just a month. And what do I miss most here? Still my friends and family at number one but food-wise I miss my "patat speciaal" and my Grolsch. (Nah, the last one not REALLY as Cascade, Tooheys and TUI are really damn good beers and you can even get Guiness on tap here!)
TTYL!
