Bus...

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well! I'm afraid there is not much to report for today! Unless like last time you want to know the inside of the coach that we were on! lol!
We got up ridulously early... AGAIN! At 5.45am, got dressed, had a shower etc and called a taxi to take us the bus! I managed to smack my head really hard when getting into the taxi... then again when getting out of it! lol! So stupid!
We got on the bus and headed for Christchurch. There was a massive mix up at Tepoka (I think thats where it was) where we heard the otherwise very jolly bus driver screaming down the phone at the bus office staff because they hadn't told him that he needed to take all the passengers off his bus and swap them with the people on the bus going in the complete other direction! This caused a huge problem and they had to swap all the bags and everyone was annoyed! Arg! The only thing that annoyed me was that the new bus didn't have seat belts on it... a company requirement! hmmmmm!
Anyways, due to that we arrived about half an hour late in Christchurch. We got off the bus and headed to our hostel! The New Excelsior in Christchurch! Its very very nice! It has a sun deck and roof terrace with BBQ facilities and a big kitchen and lounge! Not as interesting as the jail but right in the centre of town!
We put our stuff in our room, had a wash and then headed to the nearest supermarket... PAK 'N' SAVE haha! It reminded me a bit of IKEA actually! We got some supplies for the few days we're in Christchurch. Then headed back and made dinner! I had steak... it was very nice! lol!
Tomorrow I'm spending the day in an internet cafe tweeking my mountbatten application, Rob's going to have a wander around town! On friday we plan to go whale watching so we need to book that up tomorrow! Then Saturday we're off to Greymouth on the TransAlpine Railway... http://www.tranzscenic.co.nz/services/tranzalpine.aspx
Anyways, I'm going to go and finish my gossip mag! lol!
Lots of Love,
