High Drama! Today we were to fly Auckland to Christchurch to Queenstown, but the flight to Queenstown was canceled due to high winds. Landing in Christchurch was a bit of an adventure, with the plane zinging around like a bucking bronco.
We were meant to be getting a 12 seater bus in Queenstown, so Gordon and Meryl (the organizing ones of the group) arranged for us to get a bus in Christchurch instead and we drove to Queenstown did the last minute shopping, swapped buses and continued to Tuatapere near the start of the Hump Ridge walk. Some where along the way we stopped at a pub and had pizza for dinner. The rooms at Tuatapere were very nice. It was late when we got there so I fell straight into bed but Lee, Meryl and Gary had hot drinks before retiring.
