Christchurch♥041110~071110♥
Going to Christchurch for 4 days 3 night.At first we plan to spend nights in backpacker motel,which is most tourists or backpackers' choice but after several searching through internet,we manage to book a hotel with a reasonable price, nzd90 per night and the condition is really nice.
*a queen size bed (actually is quite small for 4 of us ,hehe)
*kitchenette(all utensils provided,which we are not expecting that,really convenient for just microwave food or cooking=))
*bathroom and toilet
*heater
*a really good view looking down from 11th floor
First day~04/11/10
After spending about 6 hours in bus,finally reach there.The hotel we stay is just within walking distance to the city center of Christchurch.We spend our 1st day afternoon hanging around the cathedral square,taking photos and buying souvenirs.Actually,we almost spend our whole afternoon in souvenir shop,hehe.The souvenirs sold in Christchurch are cheaper compared to Dunedin,perhaps there is more competition in Christchurch as souvenir shops are all around the cathedral square.However,it is better to compare the prices in a few shops.Normally,the further the shop is,the cheaper is the price.
Lunch in Korean restaurant,really spicy and sour~
Night view in Christchurch.Walk around after dinner but almost all shops close after 5pm.So,it is just for photo taking and night view sightseeing at night.
Second day~05/11/10
Going to 1 day Mount.Cook tour.Unlike the 1st day,the weather in the subsequent days are really cold.
Lunch~
Dinner in Little Hong Kong
Just spend some time in botanic garden although it is very huge because of the cold and rainy day before going to the art gallery,lots of nice and special stuffs at there but sadly don't have much time to spend there because going to the Black Cat Cruise in the afternoon.
Lunch~from market besides art gallery
Wildlife cruise~the main aim is to see dolphins but we end up see a penguin located far far away from our cruise.I still thought it is a duck,lol~
Dinner~in a Chinese restaurant
A really enjoyable and memorable trip with Elsie,Jar Yee and Siew Wee.Nice place to travel and lots of good food,hehe..
Siew Wee's birthday~~celebrate in a restaurant in Dunedin.
