Sleep till 11am~ dress up and head to today's first stop, Christchurch Gondola. I took Bus 28 from the bus exchange center at Colombo street and head directly to the gondola base station. I paid NZD22 dollar for the ticket and jump up to the cable car, which is the SAME as the one in Ocean Park. The 8 min journey was fxxking scare because the wind was so strong and the cable car was swinging left and right which like it could be fall down anytime. I keep imagine how to survive if the cable car really fall down, and I tried to balance it but it didn't work..... So I just stick on the chair and close my eyes......and it works!!.....LoL.....
Finally I arrived the top, weather wasn't too good~ cloudy and so windy! I can't stay outdoor too long or else I'll blown away by the crazy wind~ The view is...OK~ you can see the whole Christchurch and Lyttelton. And that's all...Up there I meet a girl who study in Australia and came to NZ for holiday~ We shared our plan and experience~ It's so good to meet some new friends doh~
How did I meet her? Well, I want to take photo with the beautiful view, so I asked her if she want someone to take a photo for her~ :p easy.
Afterthat we joined the Time Tunnel Ride Experience which is a ride for kids and a story about NZ. Well....ok la....free of charge anyway~

After that we head back to the city and she continue her visit the other places. Before she left, she gave me a daily tram ticket~ woohooO~ free tram ride for the whole day~ XD
She'll be on the same train with me to Greymouth, see if we can meet again~
I jumped on a tram, and it took 10 min to arrive Botanic Garden, same as my walking speed.
The Botanic should be vey beautiful, should be filled with flowers but the weather are still cold so not much surprise over there~ But I know it's going to be beautiful when Spring arrive.

And today's final stop, The Canterbury Museum. It's not in my plan actually, I'm there just because it's beside the Botanic Garden and I got no plan at all. So I went in. Lot of things to see and the time was just not enough, I think I've just visit 1/3 of the whole museum. Tooooo bad...anyway, Melbourne museum is still the best museum I have ever visited.

A conslustion to Christchurch, as everyone said it's a gardan city. I expect there are buildings like in Sydney because it's one of the major city in the south island, but after I arrived I found that there are not much tall building. You can find houses in like 300m away from the city center. Lots of greens, enviromental friendly, relax, not much people on the street after 8pm.
A little bit sad because I don't have time to learn more about this city, because I need to move on my journey.
What's next?
A scenic train ride to the Gerymouth. Waiting for the photos everyone!
oioi : Come now~ I'm waiting for you~ XD
c : ya~ I start enjoying the trip~ I hope you too~ :)
