We've arrived in Christchurch!
We landed a couple of hours ago and are staying in a little suburb called New Brighton.
New Brighton's on the banks of the river Avon and even has a little bike shop called John's cycles. Weird! If we decide that we like it here, I'll pop in and see if they need any help in their workshop.
Initial impressions are good. and it's very much like home. It's very green and lush here, and the roads and towns are just like home. People drive normal sized vehicles and we're back on the left hand side of the road.
Lisa's having a snooze to get rid of the hazy jet lag feeling while I type. Going to wake her up in a minute so we can go and explore.
The flight itself wasn't anywhere near as arduous as I'd anticipated. The total travelling time was about 22 hours, but we got lucky in the plane and had emergency exit seats so we could stretch our legs out.
It's about 18 degrees today and windy. Everything's in bloom and it feels really springlike.
I shall take some pictures during our explorations today and show you guys what it's like.
Love!
