New Zealand Holiday

Day 1 - on the plane to NZ

Day 2 - Christchurch

We didnt do much for day 2 as we were all tired from the overnight plane.

International Antartica Centre


We took the Hagglund ride and it was really bumpy and FUN!!


We saw some penguins and also experienced a snow storm! It was super chilling and scary, probably similar to the temp i experienced in finland but with strong winds.




cold~~




Day 3 - Hokitika
