Last day in Christchurch

Good morning! Today begins with two lectures starting at 9am and then it is on to a free afternoon. I'm not quite sure what I am going to do with my time, but I do know I need to do some laundry before we leave the hotel. I have been informed that this hotel is definitely the nicest place we will be staying for the trip! With that said, I want to use the nice facilities while I can!

Tonight, we will attend a traditional hangi meal and dinner show. It will be outdoors (COLD!!!!) and we will be cooking our food in the ground- quite interesting.

Last night a few of us managed to go out to one of the bars and it was quite fun. The bar had different levels with pool tables and a dance floor and nice wood bar. It was really great! I stayed out till about 12 and then woke up at 6, but I feel great! Plus, we leave at 7:30 am for Mt. Cook, so I'm not sure if we will actually make it out tonight.

I'll blog again before I leave, but no guarantees you'll hear from me for a few days. Hope you are all having a fabulous Thursday!

  1. Tral,

    This really is the best!! It's like you're right around the corner. By the way, I was thinking about our Australia/New Zealand trip. Remember when we watched the olympics...it was all that was on tv and they were the '96 summer olympics even though it was freezing there?!?!

    Enjoy your afternoon off. Your dinner sounds so fun tonight. Hope you're meeting lots of great people and not missing us too much!!

    XOXOX,
    We love you!

  2. Hey babe,

    I am so happy to hear you get a lot of free time today. I'm sure the lectures aren't quite as fun as a day off, so enjoy it! Plus it means I get to talk to you sooner!

    Have fun and I love you!
