Christchurch Day 4 & 5

Today we saw off some more stray friends, Sophie, Zac and Ste who had hired a compervan to complete their travelling around New Zealand.

We spent the afternoon looking around the modern chirstchurch Art Gallery. Unfortunantly the exhibition on the Antarctic had already gone, but we looked around the rest of the gallery. There were a few exhibitions by local artists as well as token romantic European paintings.

On our last full day in New Zealand we spent the day preparing for Asia by getting a few last min bits and bobs from the warehouse and changing some of our money into Thai Baht. On the way back to the hotel we had a nice surprise as we bumped into 3 England Rugby Players, (they have a match against the All Blacks in Christchurch at the weekend.) Andrew said one of them was Andy Sheridan and another was Graham Roundtree! We spent the evening with a few stray people watching the Euro 2008 replays in a massive sports bar. We had any early night as our flight was very early in the morning and we had a full day of flying to get to Bangkok.
