Hello New Zealand!

An early but comfortable flight to Christchurch, New Zealand.

We’ll start on the southern island…

First thing to do: get local SIM cards for our mobiles. It was amazingly easy, mobile internet was working before we even had paid. And we had provided zero personal data. Great service from Spark store at the Airport.

Next: campervan! The mandatory paper work as always, but still on time to stock up at Countdown (rebranded from Woolworths), checking in at the campground, going for dinner and finally making our vehicle a place to live for the next four weeks.

Open Air Cinema

After having returned our camper van to Apollo (being more red than white from the Australian sand), we explored the other side of the town and tried a few beers at a local microbrewery (Matso’s Broome Brewery)…

A lot to taste…

… and the oldest (still operating) open-air cinema of the world (Sun Pictures). It was even kind of 4D: bats were flying around and from time to time a landing plane was flying just over our heads.
