Day 88 - Thurs 4th June: Christchurch Airport

Goodbye New Zealand!

Day 87 - Weds 3rd June: Cathedral Square, Christchurch

With this giant chess board, Christchurchians must be pretty keen on the game - but it was all a bit too much for this chess fan.

Day 86 - Tues 2nd June: The International Antartic Centre, Christchurch

This might not have been the best photo I took today (as that was prob a pic of the lights outside the hotel I was staying at: Hotel So), but this place did give me one of my fave facts so far: Antartica is the world's highest, windiest, coldest and driest continent. FACT!

Day 84 - Sun 31st May: Drove up to Kaikoura...

...but didn't take any pics today. Here's a recent-decent from yesterday - taken outside the Christchurch Art Gallery.

Day 83 - Sat 30th May: Chalice sculpture, Christchurch

Here's a pic of an 18m tall sculpture that's in Christchurch's Cathedral Square. They put it up to celebrate the new millennium back in 2000 and the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Christchurch and Canterbury by the Canterbury Association. Fact hunting fans should point their mouse in this direction: http://www.ccc.govt.nz/square/Chalice/About.asp
