Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on those accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. ~Mark Twain

Arrival

Finally landed in Christchurch after seemingly endless hours flying. Uneventful, which I suppose is what you're after 35,000ft up. Had plenty of time to watch some movies, some good ones too. The Informant (must see, very entertaining Matt Damon was great), (500) Days of Summer, Up, This is It, and Moon (also well worth a watch, Sam Rockwell very good). By the time I had got the the hostel and checked in it was about 5.30, so I had a quick wander around the city centre, grabbed some food and I think it won't be too long before I'm in bed! Quite an early start tomorrow to catch the bus to Kaikoura.
Good to be back in New Zealand.
