Today we were supposed to fly to Christchurch. Once again a giant volcano in Chile had other plans for us. We arrived at the airport early enough to fly to Christchurch via other accommodations if Jetstar (our airline) cancelled flights again. Drat- everything was either cancelled or booked.
So we did the natural thing, improvised, and went and visited our good friends at Budget rent-a-car. One day someone will ask me "Robert, I'm heading to New Zealand and I have choice between a Ford Focus and a Hyundai I30." I hope they are ready for my assessment of both vehicles. Without much delving into too much detail: 'Merica and book Clayton as your GPS.
However, inside every chickensh*t sandwich is of course chicken salad which we found without much trouble. We headed north and saw some spectacular scenery and a probably 10,000 sheep. There are something like 4:1 ratio of sheep to people in this country, no joke its on the internet.
We also stopped at Mt. Cook National Park, did some hiking, and took many pictures to entertain you. And now we find ourselves safe and sound in Christchurch.
