Guess what happens when there's hurricane force winds at Mc Murdo Station? You get to hang in Christchurch. Guess what happens when the ceiling is low and visibility is poor? You get to hang in Christchurch. With pay. So, here's how it all works. I get up at 2:45 a.m. I need to be downstairs and ready for the shuttle by 3:15. By 3:00, the little man at the front desk calls the 55 people staying at this hotel to inform us that our flight has been delayed 24 hours and to go back to sleep. Then we board the shuttle at 8:00 a.m. to be whisked off to the Antarctic Center where we get more money to play with and more shuttle passes. Then, we get back into town and decide what to do the rest of the day. I played Paintball today. A new experience for me. It was definitely an afternoon of entertainment. Yesterday I went spinning and napped a lot. Tomorrow may be whale watching in Akaroa. If this continues, I may have to find the local animal shelter and start volunteering.
Welcome to second season.
