Queenstown to Christchurch…
We got on a bus yesterday and headed to Mount Cook. The bus was packed!! It was a Japanese tour bus too. omg.
Mount Cook was beautiful. It is the highest peak in New Zealand. Edmund Hilary (the guy that climbed Mt. Everest first) has climbed Mount Cook as well. 30 metres of snow fall on this peak every year. It has snow on it throughout the whole year too.
We had a two hour stopover at mount Cook and then got back on the crammed bus and headed another 5 hours north east to Christchurch. This city is nice. Not too big, not too small. We went and got groceries today and drove around on the free shuttle bus. We are trying to book our next bus ride to Wellington (north island) today. We also have a ferry ride tomorrow which is supposed to be very pretty we here. We are meeting up with a couple of friends we met in Queenstown in Wellington. That should be fun.
Nothing too exciting has been happening so that is about it for now. I will write again after Wellington. Miss everyone. Bye!

Lindsay and Ryan,
How are you? This will be short until I have more time. I was just down at my parents scoping a free meal, and I was showing mom your blog, so when she gets on the computer she will read your stuff and send you a message. Brett will show her how because my dad can’t read the screen without binoculars. Joanie says “who loves you,” and “don’t talk to strangers”. We were just reminiscing about your dad, 6 years! time flies so fast he was the greatest, and that he’s checking things out for you two, keeping you safe. Hope you are having a blast. Send us some heat, it’s starting to get cold here now, booooooooooooooo!
Love, Mark (and Joanie) she’s checking my spelling as I type!!
Hi Mark. Good to hear from you. I was hoping you would show Joanie the blog. My mom keeps saying it was getting colder there. Its spring here I guess, so its cool but sunny at least.
I was thinking about that it has been 6 years too the other day. I really can’t believe it. I say that every year that goes by.
Say hi to everyone for me. Love Lindsay
