October 07, 2002 Christchurch, New Zealand
 |
Another day on the bus took me to my last stop in New Zealand, Christchurch, a nice little city with lots of character, but not a heck of allot to do. That's fine, since I am still catching my breath and getting over a sore throat.
I almost booked Oz Experience, but after talking to a bunch of people about it, the consensus is that the passengers are mostly 18-year-old English kids. Not only do I not want to deal with that, after being on a four week tour I'd like to try traveling independently. So I'll be taking the Greyhound. No worries, though, Greyhound in Oz is supposedly much better than in the US.
Most of the bus went out to an Irish pub that night. There was an American girl there who had been working in Antarctica for the Past 14 months. doing carpentry and painting Apparently you can apply for the job on the internet. Christchurch is the point of departure for Antarctica, and you can leave for tours from here. I'll have to catch that on the next trip. There was also a very drunk American guy who was leaving for Antarctica tomorrow, and a woman from Wisconsin, who I talked to for awhile, since that's where I was born.
NOTE: I just found a website called spellcheck.net, which I used for this entry. I may go back and check all my New Zealand entries too.
don't cha worry bout spellin now. its part of the character of writing. Seems like you're having a good time. Good on ya!
