so i arrived in christchurch and immeadiatly got lost and so ended up having to get a taxi to the hostel which was a little out of town so a walk would have been a long one anyway. the hostel was a former prison which was only decommishioned in 1999 and two of the cells had been left untouched so it was quite interesting. it was actually addington village where i stayed not christchurch but it was only 10-15 mins on the bus into the city centre. alot of people said to me that chrischurch was like being in england. i can see why people say such things a couple of churches and a nice cathedral and a canal running thorough the city so i see ehere people get that opinion but i felt dunedin was ... read more

Arrived in Westport mid afternoon after a bus trip which was quite scenic but at the same time annoying as it rained all the way there and that spoilt the scenery somewhat. Anyway when i arrived it was belting it down and i was drenched just walking from the bus stop to the hostel, arrived at the hostel to find that quite annoyingly i never had enough cash to cover the $20 key deposit so i had to go back out in the rain running around this gloomy little town trying to find an ATM. Got to the room and by this time i think there was only a couple of beds left but result i still managed to score a bottom bunk, im on a pretty good run of staying nice and close to the ... read more
