Farewell New Zealand

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Our last stop in New Zealand was Christchurch. Although we enjoyed our campervan, no tears were shed on leaving her for a real bed. Christchurch is a nice and pretty city with a river running through it although we found it to be at a loss for inhabitants. Perhaps the holidays??? After traveling so long outside the cities, we decided to catch a few movies in Christchurch. On Saturday night we took the bus to see the movie “Enchanted.” It was a great movie, and I left it singing. Apparently 50 drunken santas had ramsacked the movie theatre about two hours before we arrived. That made front-page news in Christchurch. I am quite impressed by the coordination that took though…50 santas! On Sunday we decided to check out the film, “My Best Enemy” at the Art Center Cinema which has only 11 seats. Now this is a film I highly recommend…very funny and warm.

Alas, goodbye to sunlight ’till 10pm, ultra-friendly kiwis, cafes galore, stunning landscapes, and delicious hot chocolate.

Kayaking in Milford Sound

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

After waving goodbye to the penguins, we drove to Fjordland National Park on the other side of New Zealand to experience Milford Sound. Milford Sound was misclassified and is acutally a fjord. A fjord is an estuary with steep sides, created in a glacially carved valley that is filled by rising sea water levels. Basically, imagine very steep cliffs with a beautiful river flowing below and snow-capped mountains in the background…it was beautiful.

We decided to explore the fjord by taking a kayaking tour. The kayaking was great fun, we paddled out for a while and had lunch on a shore. The way back was quite tough paddling because of strong head winds. Our guide taught us how to “kayak-sail” which we had never heard of. The way it worked is we situated our four kayaks next to each other like they were one wide boat and then using our oars and hands, we held up a sail which in that wind carried us quite quickly. We made a few friends and just to give you an idea of what a small country New Zealand is, we later ran into an Irish couple we had befriended at the holiday park where we stayed in Christchurch two days later.

The Road To Kaikoura…

Hell of a Worm!
