After a busy few days in Queenstown i hopped back on the bus heading for mount cook over the lindis pass though macenzie country and we also passed lake pukaki. Mount cook is 3754 meters high and is the highest in NZ, the area designated as a national park has 22 peaks and 40% of it is covered by gaciers. Unfortunetly it was heavily snowing so i didnt actually manage to see the mountin! but i did have great fun having snowball fights and making snow men before settling in front of the tv to watch some movies and eat chocolate!!
the next day we drive to Rangitata, we drove past lake tekapo and visitied the church of the good shepard and the golden sheep dog. In rangitata i went for a short walk and chilled by the wood burner!
My last point of call in NZ was Christchurch, I did a tour of the city and surrounding areas of new brighton beach, sumner and lyttleton. It was really sad to see all the distruction that the earthquake has done, so many homes, whole subherbs are unsafe to live in and only 20% of the CBD's buildings are safe. I also visited the restart shopping mall ran out of shipping containers and walked around the park in the sunshine!
