Christchurch, Dunedin & Queenstown

Morning people!

I am currently in Queenstown, where the majority of the filiming for the 2nd Lord of the Rings film took place .... I am keeping my eye out for that ring .....

Anyway, Christchurch was lovely - way too warm for my liking. I seem to have the warm weather following me, which is nice, but I was prepared for artic conditions!! I do have a cold though so the warmth is very welcome at the moment!! I was in Australia for 7 months and only caught one cough - I get to NZ and get sick!! Those of you who know me know that I get colds on a regular basis at home, so it makes me think that NZ could be twinned with England!!

Dunedin was a little cooler. Dunedin was a Scottish settlement, there is a huge statue of Robert Burns in the centre with lovely Cathedrals in town aswell. I was there on Saturday night and Sunday daytime, and everything was closed!! I took refuge in the Public Library reading English newspapers!!

Queenstown could be twinned with any skiing resort in the Alps, there are lots of log cabins, lakes and stunning views of the mountains - I have taken pictures but this computer has a dial-up connection and I don't have millions of pounds to waste whilst they upload!! I will do that when I get back to Christchurch on Thursday.

Bye bye for now fans!
