Christchurch

We've landed in Christchurch!

Quick sequence of events:

Left Dunedin Monday morning, stopping at the Moeraki Boulders and some crazy blue glacial lakes on the way to Lake Tekapo. This is another glacial lake situated at the foot of the Southern Alps. Its' color is due to the finely ground mineral particles held in suspension in the water, reflecting back light. It's like neon aqua.

Spent two nights at Tekapo.
Went horseback riding around and over Mt. John.
Put our feet in the freezing cold lake water.
Looked at the stars from one of the highest visibility locations in the world (thanks to the thin atmosphere).

Drove to Christchurch Wednesday morning.
Began furiously applying to jobs and posting resumes to various websites, etc.


It's crunch time. Either we find jobs within the next week or two (either here in Christchurch or anywhere else in the country), or we blow the last bit of our savings on some amazing experience, and then purchase tickets back to the States.



Stay tuned to find out..
