Just got here. A busy 24 hours.i landed in NZ at 11:45 at night and thought I'd save some cash by staying at a hotel/campground close to the Christchurch airport. A five minute cab ride cost $25., I worked a deal for $15. Anyhow ended up in the middle of nowhere. Next morning I wanted to take a bus to Kaikoura, a town three hours away by bus. I was told all buses had no seats for the next two days, my choices were a $50 cab ride to town or walk a mile or so and figure out the local bus transfer system.Tough choice, bit the bullet and called the cab. All and all, worked out ok. $35. For the cab and I was able to catch a bus to Kaikoura in the afternoon. It was one of the more challenging trips from airpoprt to city I have had.
Enough of that. I'm running out of wifi time. Will add pictures later.
