October 1 Christchurch

Clocks went forward last night. It is really strange cos NZ is going into summer, whereas next month our clocks will go back. So we have lost an hours sleep.

We are basically in Christchurch killing time. We have a flight to the Cook Islands tomorrow (Oct 2nd) at 5:50am so have decided not to stay in accommodation so we will kill the day doing mindless stuff (like writing my blog). We will sleep at the airport. I am writing my blog in Christchurch at the moment killing time and I have to say this place is the dullest place I have ever been to!! Net and I are so bored it's terrible. We have gone into every shop at least 3 times each. This place is small. We even attended a choir service at the cathederal.
BORED IN CHRISTCHURCH


Here is something very strange: We fly from Christchurch to Auckland at 5:50am. We catch a four flight from Auckland to the CookIslands at 8:45am BUT arrive into the Cook Islands on October 1st at 1:45pm. We get an entire day back! That date line is a very funny thing! Cook Islands is 23 Hours BEHIND NZ!

Here is something to do when you are trying to kill time. Find really ugly clothes and try them on in the changing room. Pose and take pictures.
