Rain blast in Christchurch

Hey there,

We made it to christchurch! We have been riding out a storm system here in the city, because the beach and mountains are not as fun in the wetness. We met up with Matt, a kiwi who used to live in new york. He treated us at his favorite taco place and a couple of good bars. We hung out until late and had us some fun. His wife started a cupcake shop here a few months ago and they are doing quite well.

We are heading south a little more today, we may or may not make it to darwin, where they have many penguins. There is some huge surf moving through tonight so I hope to get into that while we are still with Jay and Ami.

After that its back north to the coramandel, a nice scenic beachy area, with significantly warmer weather. Antarctica is so close you can smell it down here.



Adios!
