Maria-Esther is walking to catch the bus to the Gondola on this overcast day. She is in the company of her husband, Diego, and their mutual friend, Matheus. The mexican couple and the brazilian traveller met in Auckland at an english language school. Diego found a job in Christchurch, so they all re-joined here for the weekend enjoying the city’s tourist attractions. Matheus is going back to Auckland tomorrow, but Maria-Esther is settling in in town with her husband. “I am already looking for a job as a spanish teacher.”
