South Island Trip! [10/07/08 - 16/07/08]
Chelsea and Daryl down South, our trip and what we got up to!
We left last Thursday, got on a plane to Christchurch at 6am! Kind of cold, as you can see with our scarves but the temperature down in Queenstown wasn't as cold as I expected. The flight was nice and short, about one and a half hours, no meals though! But we did get a muffin! :)
Arrived at Christchurch, found out we had a new rental car that had only like 180 km on the odometer and when we returned it, it had way over 1000! A lot of driving involved as it was a 5 hour drive from Christchurch to Queenstown. Awesome scenic drive though! Stopped at a gorgeous lake which had a church beside it, but weren't allowed to take pictures in it.
DAY TWO
Went up to Cardrona ski field, took us about an hour to get there! The drive was really nice though because we went through like a billion mountain ranges and the ski field was awesome! The weather was quite good too, though it got windy near the end of the day. The chairlifts even had footrests for your skis!
And unlike when Colin, Melissa and Na Na came to NZ, there was actually tonnes of snow on the mountain! Hopefully, when you guys next come during winter, we can go to the mountain to ski! :) Anyways, came home that night and what better way to finish the day with a game of MINI monopoly!
DAY THREE
Decided to take a break from skiing and took a drive early in the morning to Arrowtown, where there was snow/ice at this place where Chinese people came to mine gold back in the early 1990's. And we also found a snowman that someone else made, but we put the facial features on it so we called it our own! haha.
Came back to Queenstown and played a round of mini golf! The best mini golf you will ever play! There were so many tunnels and chairlifts and gondolas that carried your golf ball up! And to top it off, we got a free drink at the end and lollipops too! Sadly, I came last :( hahah but who was counting anyways!
DAY FOUR
Yet another day of skiing, this time at Coronet Peak, and only 15 mins drive from where we were staying. These chairlifts could take 6 people with leg rests too! haha and one of the chairlifts broke so they opened the ski field till 5pm. I think Daryl quite liked this ski field too. Another awesome day for skiing!
DAY FIVE
Time for our 5 hour drive back to Christchurch, where we stopped at a salmon farm on the way, fed the fish and mum bought some sashimi for lunch. Arrived in Christchurch that afternoon and took a walk around the town, which was quite big. We were all tired that night, but I didn't have a very good sleep, having to share a queen bed with Daryl!
DAY SIX
Woke up to have a buffet breakfast, then bought tickets for the Christchurch tram and gondola. The tram track was great! Lots of stops, but unfortunately we didn't take any photos of the tram. We got off near the art centre. We were supposed to go for a guided tour but the tour guide talked so damn soft! haha and we could not appreciate art as much as some people do so off to the museum we went! Daryl had a great time on his giant bicycle! Also took a walk to the botanical gardens and then headed back to the tram for our next stop.This was the gondola, amazing view from the gondola and up at the lookout points! We also went on this ride which you sat in and it took you through this tunnel and it told you all about a peninsula near Christchurch.
Next thing we know, we're at the airport terminal eating our sushi haha, not even sure if you can eat in those terminals! Our plane also got delayed more than half an hour, so touched down in Auckland around 9ish. A lot warmer up in Auckland, and all was left was to unpack. But we had an awesome time! Especially since it was Daryl and I's first time down in the South Island.
Hope you guys can join us next time we go down! :D
