Queenstown to Christchurch

Well today was a long day. Pretty much a straight run up to Christchurch, but it took about 7 hours. When we got there, Sam, Sean, Becky, Stu and I decided to have a big night out. The gang would be going there separate ways in 2 days and none of us wanted to fly with hangovers, so tonight would be our “last night”

So we all grabbed some dinner and then hit the hostel bar, where we spent most of the night, then around midnight we ventured into the city and eventually found a bar that was open late. It was a Monday night so the choice was limited. It was a pretty unusual bar too as all the drinks were on the stock exchange, so the prices fluctuated throughout the night, quite bizarre, but even more bizarre was who we bumped into. If you remember back to Nelson, when and Sam & I had a pint downing contest. Well there was a guy there called Rick who we ended up talking to after, because he’d wanted to buy us another drink so we’d do it again as it was so close. Anyway he was in Christchurch at a concert. So anyway he insisted on the pint buying and a repeat contest. So we thought why not, and this time I won. Yippee! Sam & I ended up staying with this guy and his mates till around 5.30am. Every time we tried to leave they’d buy us more drinks.

So out last day in Christchurch was spent pretty much in bed. We didn’t wake up till early afternoon and then we just lolled in our beds and watched TV all day. Sam went out for Chinese takeaway and I even ate that in bed, what a slob!
