🇳🇿 New Zealand Travel Guide / Day 2: Christchurch → Greymouth

✈️ Morning Flight: Auckland → Christchurch Booked Jetstar (budget airline—watch out for extra baggage fees! 💸). Picked up our rental car in Christchurch—let the road trip begin! 🚗 🍜 Christchurch Pit Stops: 1️⃣ Lunch: Average Chinese meal (skip-worthy 😅). 2️⃣ Asian Supermarket: Stocked up on instant noodles & congee—road trip essentials! 🍜 3️⃣ Countdown超市 Surprise: Tried buying Sauvignon Blanc 🍾... but got denied! "No local ID = no alcohol" (even though other supermarkets allowed it?!). Can any Kiwis explain this? 🤔 🚗 The Great Car Debacle: 1 hour into our drive: A passing car kicked up a rock → smashed our windshield! 😱 Pro tip #1: Always get full insurance + supplemental coverage (saved us $1000 NZD—standard insurance doesn’t cover glass/chassis!). Pro tip #2: Budget extra time for unexpected U-turns (we lost 3 hours returning to Christchurch for a replacement car 🔄). 🌄 Silver Linings: Missed planned attractions, but the scenic drive was stunning—even saw my first "golden hour" mountain glow! 🏔️✨ Greymouth Airbnb: Ocean-view apartment + starry skies to end the chaotic day. 🌌 #NZRoadTrip #SouthIslandAdventures #TravelFails #InsuranceWins #Christchurch #Greymouth
