\n\t\t \n $\"new_zealand_-131\"\n$ \n <\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t\tWe had to get up pretty early in the morning to visit one last sight before leaving Dunedin. The steepest road of the world – Baldwin street . Our bus driver made us hike up that steep hill by promising that on top of it would be a nice cafeteria offering hot chocolate. Of course when we reached the peak, there was nothing but some old houses and an odd looking camper van.<\/p>\n

On the way to Christchurch we stopped for a walk at the Moeraki boulders. There are huge boulders lying along a stretch of Koekohe Beach, some of these boulders are broken and you can sit in them like in a chair, or jump from one to another. Very stupid idea when the mist has made them slippery and you try to jump from one boulder to the other \u2013 like I did\u2026<\/p>\n

The drive from Canterbury Plains to Christchurch also meant the last time I would travel with a most of the group that had stayed on the bus with me for almost three weeks. Of course we celebrated that one last evening at the pub in Christchurch, had a few dinks and danced till early in the morning.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t \n $\"new_zealand_-142\"\n$ \n <\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t21st of Oktober,
\nA sunny and warm day is best spent outside in the nature, so I took a bus to the Christchurch Gondola to get a better view of the area. Up at the restaurant I met a German girl and we decided to hike down the mountain together to get some nice views of the Canterbury Plains and take a bus back from Lyttelton Harbour rather then just taking the cable way down again.<\/p>\n

22nd of October: Botanical Gardens and Art center
\nA nice way to explore the inner city is the tram, which follows a 2.5 kilometer loop around central Christchurch. It\u2019s a nice way to hop on and off at the major sights like the Botanical Gardends \u2013 with its rather disturbing little pond. The pond has statue of a blindfolded woman in the water like she is looking for something. Imagine a foggy day in fall when you walk around the park and it\u2019s about to get dark!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
