New Zealand

So I am in NEW ZEALAND!!! After a day and a half of flying I arrived in Christchurch, NZ and got to my hotel, which I love. It is a totally awesome hotel, with a really big bed just for me. After sleeping on the plane I am ready for an actual bed. I am also right across the street from the big cathedral in Christchurch and I can see it out of my window. So I have 2 days here and then off to the ice!!! I am really excited.
I met a really cool girl on the plane to Christchurch too. She is from Switzerland and her name is Maria. We are going to tour the city tomorrow morning before I have to go try on all my winter gear. That should be fun.
Also, I discovered that there is an Antarctica Center here in Christchurch. It explains all about the stations and research taking place on the ice. I am hoping to go tomorrow.
Anyway that is all for now. Hopefully I will have some pictures up soon of Sydney from the sky ( I was only there for about 30 minutes) and Christchurch.
