South Island, Saying Bye To Nat And Shane: Rained Off In Chch

Christchurch, New Zealand


The last couple of days in Christchurch were pretty uneventful because, you guessed it, it rained so we spent the Friday chilling in the van and listening to the radio. ZM said it was pretty shit weather everywhere apart from Invercargill but lets face it, it was still gonna be cold down there. It was still gonna be fucking Invercargill an all.

We'd planned to be ultimate Christchurch tourists but there's nothing to do here in the rain which resulted in an itinery of tea, tea, supermarket to get milk for tea, tea, beer, beer, tea. Me and Shane headed into town to check out the iSite to see if there was anything we could do to pass the time before heading back to drink more tea.

Nat and Shane left on the Sunday after me and Shane had headed up the gondola to have a look at what Christchurch looked like from a distance. Much better way to see it if you ask me, I'm not a fan of the place at all, its full of idiots. I reckon it'd be what England would be like if all the chavs had money for pimped out cars and spent the nights tearing round and hurling abuse and beer bottles out of the windows. The only difference between Christchurch an Manchester is, in Chch they own the cars as opposed to nicking them.

I chilled here for a few nights while I got all my sensible laundry related shit done before I started the journey back up north to my beloved Auckland. Just in time for winter.

Meh.

I live life on the edge.

Provided I'm harnessed to a safety rope and there's a team of trained professionals on hand to make sure I don't fall off.
