However, the adventures had just begun. Collecting our luggage on arrival at airport in Christchurch. We arrive at Merrin School and are welcomed by our host families. Everyone had a chance to deal with jet lag in their own way. Most students didn't have any problem with it at all.
Host families choose their own activities.
Everyone was getting used to different foods and homes without central heating. The outside temperatures most days has been in the mid to higher 50's in daytime and the 30's and 40's at night. Some days it got into the 60's and 70's. But the days have been sunny, and there is no snow at the present time. Winters, we've been told, are not as sever here as in River Falls.
