Even though I haven't posted about the last few days (three days of awesomeness are as yet unread by you!!), we're leaving New Zealand tomorrow. We're both kinda sad about it - NZ has been absolutely wonderful, and of course there's still a lot more to see here. But for a short visit we hit all the highlights, and haven't regretted a thing! I'm personally very exicited to head to Australia, because it means I'm that much closer to the final Lucksmiths concert!
A brief teaser from Mom before we go (yet another pay computer - $1 gives us 20 minutes)....
"Today temperatures in Christchurch were spring-like; much warmed than we've experienced thus far. Christchurch is built like an English town - gardens and flowers are everwhere, and there are many cathedrals and churches. After a brisk walk to Cathedral Square, we boarded the tram and explored the city. I was thrilled by the spring-time flowers: the daffodils, tulips, and many flowering trees along the Avon river. (Katrina laughs at my flower obsession! Ok, Katrina typed this while mom dicatate, and Katrina chose the word obsession over a more subtle and suitable word, such as love.)
The best part of our day was the visit to the Antartic Center, "the coolest classroom on earth" according to the brochure. We learned all about Antartica, but we'll tell you about that later! We'll tease you with the following tidbits: Hagglund ride, up close and personal with the blue penguins, and an artic storm that left us freeeeezing!"
