We drove to the East coast and stopped at the Moeraki Boulders where I grabbed a sandwich. We stopped for lunch at Oamaru and we grabbed some other things to make (and eat) for lunch. We continued on to the Christchurch Airport where we dropped off the two Mexican girls. We then dropped off BC and Ty at their accommodation. The rest of us headed into Christchurch. Happy dropped us off at the YHA Backpackers where we checked in.
It was at this point that I realised I didn't have my GoPro. I checked all my bags thoroughly. I emailed the last accommodation and place we had lunch the previous day, but they both emailed me back shortly after and said they looked but didn't see it. I also reconnected with Happy a bit later, and he said he had checked the bus, but didn't see it. So that means I either put it in with the bicycle helmets, or it was lost/stolen along the way. I'm figuring on the former, so I asked the bicycle operators via Stray Travel and will hope to find out tomorrow.
Kate, Michael, Yohan, and I walked around Hagley Park and down to (what's left of) Christchurch Cathedral. We walked back to the hostel, and connected with a few others in our group for dinner. We struck out on a couple of ideas, but settled on C1 Espresso, a very unique cafe. But it wasn't as simple as that ... we had to find the rest of our group, who were lost a few blocks away. We found them and brought them over, but they didn't like it and decided to eat elsewhere. I think we've been travelling together too long and we're starting to not get along as well.
Oh well, dinner was good, and all the walking around gave us more insight into just how damaged this city is. We went to Micky Finns Irish Pub afterwards, and they had a live band, so we left kinda late.
Internet is good at this hostel, so that's why I stayed up until 4:30AM catching up on blogging.
