Fernweh

Here down South it’s definitely colder than in Wellington – more like proper winter, with temperatures here in Christchurch around 5 degrees. That wouldn’t be bad, but in addition it’s very wet – especially yesterday it felt a bit like the end of the world, it was raining so hard. *shivers*

I ended up going to the beach in New Brighton anyway and got thoroughly soaked. To make up for this, I spent the evening watching a kiwi movie, ‘Second-Hand Wedding’ which was cute and funny. Today my tour to the Lord of the Rings location of Edoras was cancelled, but the weather was a bit better (still cold, though) and I took the Gondola up the mountain in the afternoon, after spending the morning at the Canterbury museum. That was quite interesting, with Antarctica and Leonardo da Vinci exhibits.

I also managed to upload the photos I took so far:

The rest can be found in my New Zealand album, as usual. Tomorrow I’m off to Dunedin – will catch up with you again there!
