Land of Kiwis

I am in the land of the Kiwis (to the left is a stock image of the spotted Kiwi). I arrived in Christchurch after a twenty odd hour flight. I am all bleary eyed and trying to keep myself up so I won't be jet-lagged tomorrow. I will post more info on the journey then. I even have pictures to post. However, those must wait until my package of books and cables arrives. By the way, my room has a lovely view of the Anglican cemetery across the street.

To the right is a stock image of the more-often-seen New Zealand bird the tui for whom a a beer is named.
