ilanaramaI am just faffing about until 8 am when we can try to reserve a cheap rental car and have only 5 minutes left on my internet, so. After a sequence of busses down the west coast to Greymouth, followed by the scenic Tranz Alpine train across the spine of NZ, we are now in Christchurch. Serendipitously we arrived just in time for the World Busking Festival, so have been enjoying the city enhanced by truly excellent street performers.
Plan for the next week is to rent a car and (slowly) drive back to the west coast, stopping in the middle to dayhike in Arthur's Pass NP, then down the coast to the BIG GLACIERS where we plan to splurge on a heli-hike and do more touristing, then make our way to Queenstown to arrange transport for our next big hike (the Caples and Routeburn tracks). From there we go to Te Anau almost immediately for another hike 3 days later, the Kepler Track, and then we'll try to arrange some day cruise type stuff at Milford Sound.
Seekrit message to John: didn't make the Twisted Hop yet, but we're coming back to ChCh before we leave.

I wish there was some kind of a Total Experience Recorder.
