Jet lag!!!

Just a short post right now to say that I have made it all the way to Christchurch.  On my final flight in I finally managed to get a window seat.  The final 30 minutes of the flight convinced me that this was absolutely the right holiday choice to make.

Flying in over the southern alps - I've never seen mountains like them.  Breath taking, awe-inspiring....the colours, the size of the peaks....  I had all my maps out trying to identify what everything was so I could go back and see it at ground level.

Fortunately, I managed a supermarket shop and all my unpacking / settling in to the van at the first night's campsite before jet lag forced me to shut my eyes.

Unfortunately, it's now 10:30pm and I am if not wide awake, well certainly not tired enough for a full night's sleep.  And I can't surf t'interweb for hours planning things to do as my travel adaptor is too big for the socket in the van so I can't plug my laptop in :-(

Still, I've never been one to have a problem sleeping for a long time so I'm sure it will all work out.  Will start sighteeing and taking photos tomorrow......
