Destination has been reached! Arrived in Christchurch and after a thorough cleaning of my shoes by the custom officers met with F. In short he is doing pretty well!
Took directly our fist spin wirh the bikes he set up and it turned out it was very much needed (and exhausting...) after all the plane sitting. Jetlag had an obvious effect but after a good night sleep it felt waaay better! So we headed to CAP, Christchurchs' Activity Center. Biking distance from city center they have built a small biking paradise. Loads of trails with steep secrions pump track and dirt jump section. Loads of loose dirt tracks flowing inbetween big pine trees.
Had half of a day there and continued at the bike shop for F to better prep the bikes for the next coming days.
Finished the day in the city center where we enjoyed a drink and some needed food to recharge!
Buss was honking, chimichanga was nice, the city is small but pretty!Read more

So this is why all the fuss

6 and a half hours of flight time and hello Dubai. Typical long flight with all the offerings that all of my last low cost flights were missing. Quiet flight, helpfull and kind stuff, multimedia offerings and nice food to choose from. I might not enjoyed it as much as the girl next to me that slept the whoooole freaking way but still. Landed at 23.20 and there is plenty of time to kill until the connecting flight.
Tati said it might make sense to go for a quick drive to the city center just to see what the fuss is all about. And so i did...took a cab and the Indian driver managed to squeze 110km of sightseeing in an hour and a half. The city is certainly big and impressive with all the huge tall buildings, the wide, well lit roads and the distinct springles of wealth all over the landscape. No matter how well everything was/is planned though the taxi driver kept complaining on the constant traffic. Lots of xars and traffic despite the 7lane roads and the dact that it was just a late Friday night .Read more

And so it begins!
A simple msg to Fredrik ended up, in a quick manner, to my longest trip ever. Hyped and excited to visit the guy and have a first hand experience on the seed he planted in one of the prettiest places on the planet.
The decision for the trip came about a month ago and it was booked, kind off, on the spot. After some long working hours during the past few weeks, finally the time has come.
It was very easy leaving the mist and rain in Gothenburg and I also grabbed the opportunity to visit Nik in Malmö (not very different there either weather wise...) and catch up a bit. Crazy fiber breakfast, a cup of the finest Malmö coffee (…not!) and I was off to Kastrup airport.
It is Friday before the catholic Easter and the airport is cramped.
Despite the traffic everything runs smooth and I am now ready to catch up on my non-existing trip prep while on the go!Read more
