I have come to the South Island for another short holiday. I came on my plane. A new car was waiting for me when I arrived (it was supposed to be automatic but it still needs the same old driver!)
I stayed at Christchurch in a nice (although slightly noisy) Youth Hostel. There is a very nice food shop over the road that Fiona and the other people like.
We met up with one of Grandma's friends and relations - a nice lady called Joan - who took us to Willowbank Nature Reserve. We fed eels from plastic spoons and then went to see some kiwis. As it was an evening tour the kiwis were quite active. We got really close to them. They are bigger than me and can run very fast.
This morning we went to Antarctica. It is in a big shed next to Christchurch airport. We saw some Little Blue penguins. They were very cute. We also went into a room that was very cold. We had to wear special clothes. At 11:00am they turned on a storm and it got even colder.
See our photos here.
We spent the rest of the day driving down to Lake Tekapo. More of this later.
