Woke up early (6:30) to catch the sunrise. It was rather lovely. What was much more impressive, however, was the fact that the whole space between the various mountains was filled with a huge cloud. It seemed as if we could do skydiving from there.
We also went up a little higher on a small excursion to Mt. Olivie (or something similar I forget), which was the tallest spot to which we could go. There, we did our flag waving photos. Anna, wanted a similar photo, so to get the dutch flag we wore the respective colored T-shirts (red, white, blue).
The way down was uneventful, other then it being unpleasant. As we got to the car I couldn't find my car keys. Then I realized that I left them in the door so that it would be easy for anyone to still the car. Fortunately, no one did.
We proceeded to Christchurch - some 330 km, and arrived there around 20:00. It has been a rather long day, so we were all pretty tired and we decided to spend the next day in Christchurch. The problem is that we were going to meet Nir at Arthur's Pass tomorrow, and he was not happy about postponing. It is not clear what will happen.
Dinner - Perhaps I should have a separate daily entry for dinner as it seems to be occupying much of my attention. Anyway, due to an exorbitant amount of chocolate and ice cream intake in the last few weeks, we (Anna and I - Ben strictly objects) have decided to try to be more healthy about our food. So dinner consisted of Israeli salad, stir fried salad, and baked potatoes (Ben's touch..). The backpacker's kitchen was awful - appliances weren't functional etc. So I decided it was fair to "borrow" the best bloody knife I've seen in this country, which was there...
