5 - Franz Josef Glacier
6 - Queenstown
7 - The Catlins
8 - Dunedin

Christchurch
Our first stop is Christchurch. We got on a plane from Brisbane, Australia, (our last stop), to Christchurch, so we didn’t have to take a boat,(I get sick).
It was a half an hour journey from the airport to our first hostel, and in the car I was very bored. When we finally arrived we went inside and started to unpack and settle in.
I found an amazing park right outside our house and I had lots of fun there.
Quake City
Quake City is all about a terrible earthquake that happened in Christchurch, 2010. It tells you all about all the terrible damage the earthquake did to the city. I learnt a lot. There were lots of pictures of some of the terrible damage the earthquake made. There was also a thing called “make your own earthquake,” where you basically jump on the spot and see how much pressure you make, or something like that. Here’s a video of me doing it:
Cardboard Cathedral
In Christchurch, one of the terrible things the earthquake did was destroy a once beautiful cathedral. So instead they rebuilt it out of cardboard! Here are some pictures of parts of it:
Kaikoura
We’ve left Christchurch and now we’re in Kaikoura. It was a 4 hour drive, but on the way I played games to keep myself entertained.
