Christchurch

We took a charter plane today from Queenstown to Christchurch, during which we flew next to (literally) Mount Cook. We got into town mid-afternoon.

Christchurch is called the most English city outside of England, and the weather certainly supported it. It was overcast, foggy, rainy and cold. We only had a couple of hours to explore the city, so we walked to the Contemporary Art Museum, and wandered around there for an hour or so.

Tonight was our farewell dinner, where we ate and drank our hearts out and bid adieu to the rest of our tour group.
