Over the past week or so I have had the pleasure of staying in Christchurch for work. Sure, it’s fairly short flight at 3 1/2 hours … it still counts though as my first trip outside of Australia. The food was great and the people were friendly. The picture shown above comes from a little seaside town where I had the pleasure to have dinner. Although I had come from 31 degree heat (that’s celcius) to 19 odd… I aclimatised very quickly. Now, why am I telling you this… well because I had to tell someone.
The highlight of the trip was driving up the hills and taking in the scenery of Christchurch. What a beautiful sight it was. I also went there for work to watch my co-presenter deliver a paper on Feral Systems which was also good. So the point of this little post is to say how much I enjoyed it and how much I am looking forward to my next trip overseas. The one thing it did for me was give me a great deal more confidence when it comes to travel because I had, up till this point, been quite scared of taking a trip. Sure, it was only a short trip “across the ditch” but it showed me what comes next… a trip to a non-english speaking country… NO!
So I would recommend Christchurch (bring a jacket Australians living north of Sydney) as a destination of choice and no this is not a sponsered post! Now, to cook up another paper for my next trip *rubs hands*.
