just a night here – haven’t seen that much. Wanted to see what the Earthquake did to the city, but wasn’t really able to (arrived late yesterday evening, and taking the bus at 9am today to Queenstown).

One interesting story though – showing how cool Kiwis are: I was about to take a taxi from the airport – but they were all busy. So the guy at the counter of the rental car company (I returned my camper-van here) said that a bus is really easy and direct. So I went to the bus station but apparently just missed it. A bit later the same guy came by (probably his shift ended) and asked again if everything is alright (while I was at the bus station). 2 minutes later another “stranger” comes by and asked where I want to go – and offered me a ride as his car was just a bit further down the street. So cool. And we had a nice chat while driving…

Just such a great experience in NZ….
