It’s 20 degrees and sunny but it’s winter….yes we’ve arrived in LA!
Today has been a bit of a marathon, or do I mean yesterday and today I’m not sure anymore. All I know is that by the end of the day thursday for us will have lasted for about 44 hours roughly!! Lets back up a bit first though and fill you all in properly on what we got up to before our time in New Zealand was over.
Tuesday saw us head from Oamaru to Christchurch. We didn’t get up to much touristy stuff but spent some time sorting out the camper for handing back. On Wednesday we spent most of the day in the centre of Christchurch. We had a look round the cathedral which was pretty impressive then the market happening in the cathedral square. Dotted around this were some buskers, a piper belting out ‘flower of scotland’ among other tunes and a strange man dressed up as a wizard drawing shapes on the ground with chalk. Didn’t manage to work out exactly what he was doing and thought it was best to not disturb him as he may have been slightly unhinged!
Punting on the Avon
Later we had a punt on the river. Our punter (not sure what the technical term for the fella with the stick is) was from England. He’s travelling the world and ended up working in Christchurch for a few months, not to bad a job, pushing tourists up and down the river in the sunshine I suppose.
Thursday started out by saying goodbye to the spaceship. Then the rest of the day was filled up with 2 flights and 3 airports. Now it’s on to the last leg of the journey in LA not sure what we’ll get to do yet but check back and we’ll let you know. The one good thing about being back in America is free internet again!
