New Zealand and back...

I just got back from New Zealand tonight. We almost didn't get to go. In fact, we checked in, went through customs and security in Melbourne and then as we were walking through Duty Free, Becky got a call. It turns out, the gal at the ticket counter gave NZ the wrong info regarding Becky's passport and we had to be escorted back through customs to sort it out.

This was not fun! I was "randomly" selected to be searched and patted down both times (within 20 mins) and Becky thought she was going to be deported!!! After all was said and done, we toasted with bubbly in the airport and were super happy to be on the plane!

We had no idea how AMAZING New Zealand was going to be. Here are a few photos of the night we arrived...(they don't even begin to do the city justice)
Christchurch, New Zealand!!!! This was the view from our hotel room...BAM!
The front of the church...
FINALLY here!!!
One of the many awesome sculptures that grace the city.

More pics to come...
