Hi folks,
I've arrived in Christchurch and have already got accomodation and a mobile phone set up. The journey wasn't half as bad as I expected although all my flights were delayed. To kill the time I did a little training session just outside of Narita airport. I had also packed some bannana sandwhiches as I heard Japan was very expensive. Well the sandwhiches didn't quite make it in one piece and McDonalds there was half the price of UK, ;-).
I'm thinking of heading out to the Banks peninsula tomorrow for a few days then back to Christchurch where I may buy a car.....actually already taken one for a test drive! Spent the morning chatting with Marika (pretty hot dutch girl) and Anita (American girl who is travelling round every country in the world..... Dawn...........I think she may be your long lost sister .........She tried to buy some candles in a shop and totally pissed off the salewomanl.......... so I had to go in and buy them for her, ha ha). It's amazing how fast you get to meet people and just how much information you can pick up in no time at all. So far its been brilliant. Sorry, limited photos at the moment as my SD cards are trying to catch me up in the post.

Glad you arrived safely. Keep us posted and watch out for those American girls - they're all trouble!
