Tulips Trams and Tunnels

We arrived at the final destination of our NZ tour, Christchurch, on Friday. We started Saturday with a walking tour of the Garden City, and then it was a tourist tram trip around the city centre followed by visits to the Art Gallery and the Museum. Our two evenings have been spent at a wine bar with live music (very enjoyable).

Today we spent the morning at the Antarctic Centre where we experienced a blizzard and went for a ride in Hagglunder and saw some more penguins. This afternoon we went for a drive to get our last dose on NZ scenery. It was then a short walk that included a tunnel that was built during WW2 to service gun emplacements.

Tomorrow it’s back over the ditch to the West Island (this is what the Kiwi’s call Australia)
