Return to Christchurch

Back to Christchurch today, so that I can a bit further north to Kaikoura - hopefully to go whale watching. The last time I tried to go whale watching was in Iceland, but the boat got cancelled due to bad weather. Hopefully the weather-gods are still smiling on me (Mt Cook was brilliant weather,after all).

Then after that it's back to Auckland to see some of the areas I missed when I first arrived (seems like ages ago that I flew in from Fiji).
After that - sadly it's time to leave this fabulous country. I can already feel the pre-country-departure-blues at the edge of my thoughts.
