Christchurch

Flying with Virgin Blue was somehow different than flying with the piece of old junk from Aerolineas Argentina, it wasn’t delayed and they were actually a serious airline. It was a great flight, and I for the first time in my life I actually wanted the flight to be delayed since I didn’t want to be stuck at the airport the whole evening, I wished the plane would be delayed which it didn’t happen. I arrived at Christchurch airport and I was quite tired and on top of that I forgot to print out my return ticket which made me quite nervous because I didn’t want them to kick me out of New Zealand yet. I haven’t even seen snow and they might not let me in, but the immigration officer was actually nicer than the ones I had encountered in the my life (UK), they were nice and were actually interested in listening to you so it was quite an experience. Got into the country and had to wait for 5 hours for my bus, I decided to stay at the airport cause there was no point in going to a hostel and pay for one night. I wanted to get to Queenstown as soon as possible so I booked the bus for the next day which was in 5 hours, but I was so tired and no matter how hard I tried to sleep on the floor, I just couldn’t fall asleep, the lights were so bright and they were vaccunning the floor at 4 in the morning and on top of that the bus was slightly late and it was so cold outside but I was prepared so I wore like 2 pants, 1 sweater, 2 jackets, 1 t-shirt, gloves, beanies and a scarf. I was full on, I was like a snowman compared to some people who were just wearing a t-shirt and a boardie? Crazy people, I think maybe they are from Antarctica. The view and the country is fantastic, as I waited for my bus I met an aussie backpacker who told me a few things about this wonderful country. We ended up sleeping on the bus, it finally arrived. I slep like a dog on the bus to Queenstown, I was so tired that I struggled to open my eyes from time to time but I was able to look at the beautiful landscape of this beautiful and exciting country of New Zealand, some parts were covered with snow and the lakes were just amazing but I didn’t do one thing, I was so tired to get my camera.
