Ah, Christchurch

It's our 4th day in Christchurch, and I don't want to say that I'm bored but - shit, I'm kinda bored. The weather is so fucking menopausal, and right now it's about 50 degrees and windy as fuck. Jess and I walked through town yesterday, went to a crappy little museum, and met up with our hosts for sushi. We took it easy again last night, and watched the acclaimed "The Castle" with Timmy Mac. I'm wondering to myself if it would be wrong to walk into town in a bit and see "Milk," the new (for NZ) Sean Penn. Honestly, without a car, there's just not too much to do here. Tim and Chris took us about an hour outside on Sunday and showed us the countryside which was beautiful, so I'm really looking forward to getting back out there. We stopped at a little pub on the way back and i tried my first real meat pie. DEEEElish. Chicken and mushrooms and tomato sauce - okay, I know it might sound gross, but you have to trust me. If there's one thing they know how to make over here, it's them pies. Timmy Mac is lending us his car for our trip down to Queenstown, which is undoubtedly awesome, since we were going to have to pay about 300+ to rent one. We'll stop in lake Wanaka on the way down and couchsurf with some chick who lives on the water front. Hopefully, water skiing and the like await in the next couple of days! Then on Thursday, on to QTown where we can take in all the bungee, skydiving, and white water rafting we want. Well, we'll see. A trip to the spa is in the works, too. Our traveling bodies could use a little rubdown, as long as it's in the budget. But, as Jess keeps reminding me, "It's all half price!"
As soon as I have some regular internet, I'll throw up some country pics so y'all can see exactly what I mean....
