1st day in Christchurch


We made it to Christchurch this morning 1 hour later than expected due to flight delays and an ordeal at customs with Brad's dirty golf shoes and hiking boots (which they had to clean). We were a little surprised by the humidity (and by how much we were sweating!) After settling into our temporary apartment, we went for a quick walk to the supermarket. There are so many nice parks- we found this little one on our way (see picture).
Brad's potential supervisor- Richard-picked us up in the afternoon and toured us around town. We were impressed by the architecture and beaches. Then we went over to Richard's place and had supper with his wife (Averill) and their three boys. We were grateful for the hospitality and the warm Kiwi welcome!
