I have an unexpected extra day in Christchurch. I wanted to take a bus to Lake Tekapo over by the Southern Alps on the way to see Mount Cook, NZ's highest mountain. THe bus was booked out so I have to wait until tomorrow. I decided to change Hostels which is just around the corner from the bus station. The early part of the day was taken up by a visit to a doctors surgery to get a prescription to top up on the thyroid tablets which I have to take. In a secondhand bookshop next door to the surgery I found a copy of the first book of the Lord of The Rings so that will be my reading fo rthe next while. I spent the rest of the day looking around Christchurch. It is gearing up for a festival of flowers and as a result the city centre is festooned with colourful flower arrangements. Its a very pretty city, one of the cleanest cities I've ever seen. Very quiet, very pleasant.
