After spending a few days in Queenstown (Tourist town...) I have moved on to Christchurch, the largest city on the South Island, population around 400,000. I am staying with a friend who I met a in Canada about three years ago for all of two weeks, we both attended an international physics school held at Perimeter Institute in Waterloo. I know, I have my moments, Alicia is a fantastic lady currently studying Economics at the University of Canterbury and living with her family. It is nice to be in a home once again, there is something so peaceful about a house that is lived in, a warmth.
Living with a real kiwi family is something I am cherishing, there are small differences, but they make it more fun. There is a constant movement of people through the house, grandparents, friends, me, just walk through the door say hello and sit down and get on with what ever they need to do. It is a hub, a meeting place and I am growing to love it. I am planning on spending just over a weeks, to get back on my feet after moving around so much, resting, relaxing and experiencing a true kiwi life.
There one thing that is very similar to Alicia's family and mine, the love for skiing, I know, skiing in June!! I cannot wait! We are planning on heading up to Mount Hutt early next week to get a day of skiing in. I am all smiles about that.
Enjoy the weather! It looks like the sun is heading your way!
