We arrived late afternoon in Christchurch and checked in to the hotel. At the airport as soon as we stepped off the plane there was a Spark counter offering good deals on Sims and eSims.  They added a new physical Sim to Jackie’s phone and configured my eSim – it was about NZD 95 for 30GB for both phones (buy one, get one half price) which we thought was a good deal. We grabbed an Uber to get to the hotel only to find the room was not ready (at 3pm!) .A complimentary tea later and we went straight to bed given the travel and different time zones.
