3 June, Tue (Rotorua to Christchurch)

Ok I’m on my own now. Dawn has to go back to Auckland to carry on with her assignment. I’m on my way to take a domestic flight to Christchurch from Rotorua. Not before checking out the beautiful lake at Rotorua. Nice place to sit down and enjoy a book.

Checking in and feeling a bit excited. I’m on my own! But of course God and angles are always by my side. Prayed that I will have a safe and blessed trip.

Took a bus to BASE backpackers located at Cathedral Square. My! The church looks magnificent under the evening light! Quickly unload myself, I grab a map and check out the surrounding. Thou it was only 6pm, it already quite dark. Short day long night here. Glad to realize that all the places of attraction are all within walking distance. That will give me time to check out the factory outlet that’s 30 min bus ride away. Crave for some hot food and have katsu don for dinner. More than 10 bucks! Hop around some souvenir shops all selling same things and that calls for the day!
