Adelaide to Christchurch

Christchurch Travel Blog › entry 1 of 17 › view all entries

Andrew and I were trying to figure out where to go for this year. Of course, money has to be considered. After thinking of some places and costs, we decided on the South Island of New Zealand. So here we are again. Please note that as we were here last year, there are more photoes of NZ in the 2007 trip blog.

Adelaide to Christchurch

Waiting in Adelaide

This morning we got up very very early. We went to the Adelaide domestic airport to catch a Virgin Blue flight to Melbourne. It was a full plane but went with out incident. Gotta be good!

About an hour and a half after arriving in Melbourne we were boarding an international flight on Pacific Blue, for Christchurch. Again very uneventful but as we got close to Christchurch the scenery was magnificent. No problems getting through customs and then we used the free phone to call for a pick up to collect a hire car. They were a bit busy there so it was a little while before getting our car.

We then headed for Sumner. We had booked in at a bed and breakfast place called CaveRock B&B. We then went to the local pub for dinner. A long day, tommorrow we do what we want to do.
