Day eighteen
Today we got up at 5am (uuggghhh) and went to the airport for our flight to Christchurch. Our flight was OK – nothing much to report there. We picked up our car which was a bit of a surprise. It’s older than we expected – we thought we’d booked a new one. It’s not bad though, and the plus side is that they don’t care about chips on the paintwork. The problem is that it’s automatic and its wipers and indicators are in the wrong place – gonna take some getting used to! We didn’t do a lot in the evening; Steve took us for a little tour around the area – it’s gorgeous; so dramatic. We had spaghetti for dinner and headed gladly to bed :-)

Well, driving an automatic is a good experience (remember Dad's old Clio?), but it can be a bit hairy when on a hill - or in a snowy place: don't quite know how "clutch control" works in that situation - since there isn't one. You'll have to work that out for youselves! xxxxxxxxxx
