Last 2 days in NZ (omg.. the formatting is killing me)

How good time flies.. my holiday in new zealand ended, really too soon.

In general, sheep roam the country. Mountains, lakes and beautiful green patches of land are all about New Zealand. Sorry for my poor description, but these are all that I see while rotting on the bus for more than half the trip. lol.

So here are the pictures that say it all!

Day 7 - Farmstay & Christchurch

Saying goodbye to our hosts at the Farmstay.

At Farmer's Corner.






















































Views of Christchurch







































Our cute tourguide




















tourguide lookalike:


Reminds me of the song, "xiang yao guang zhe jiao ya zai shu shang chang ge...."









































Willowbank Wildlife Reserve


































Maori Cultural Show




















The tribe was so fierce that children were afraid. They recited the "Gambate gambate kora kora..." , which reminded me of my secondary school talentime where my class performed a tribal dance!

Audience engagement


































Dinner




Lamb


Diabetic Pavlova.













Last Day (free and easy) - Christchurch
We made some friends along the way from our tour group and decided to spend our last day travelling together. First we went to take the Christchurch Gondola, then to the Wildlife park, Go-kart and lastly dinner and shopping at Christchurch.


On board the Gondola







We could even spot sheep on our way up the mountain! We noticed them when we heard "baa baa..."




Magnificient views from the top.



















After lunch, we were off to wildlife park. The highlight of thi attraction was us being caged up in a van and the lions were free to walk around us. They even went on top of the van and the brave zookeepers fed the hungry and ferocious lions meat with their bare hands!














We found a small egg on the ground.





Rhinos behind. There were lots of other animals that can also be foound in sg.






















Go kart. It was rather small.. only the 3 of them tried :)


































They made him the champion cause he overtook them a few times.. it was quite exciting towatch them!
Huge chess in town!


Last meal in NZ. Big portions.
