On Friday I met up with a recruitment consultant for a useful chat, she has some jobs which she thinks I am suited for but Tracy and I have more or less decided that Wellington is not for us. I don't think we could face the constant year round wind. So on Tuesday we are catching the ferry south and are going to rent in Christchurch for a while. I have a recruitment consultant in CHCH who is trying to find me work. Housing is cheaper there and it gives us a great base to explore the south island which we both love.

At night we hit the town, watched some rugby in a sports bar. Saw a great band in an Irish bar and finished up in a home brew pub which brews some excellent and potent beers.
