Thursday – Christchurch

Our first stop this morning after breakfast was the Science Alive museum. Primarily geared towards kids, the museum features a large sized chess board where Bart and I duelled it out for dominance. Lisa had fun with the science exhibits as Bart tackled the rock climbing wall.

5796 The musuem also was featuring hubble telescope photos so that was pretty cool. Our second stop was the International Antartic Centre.  We had a great time riding the fast moving snowmobile and seeing the exhibits. We sat in a real life snow room and experienced an antartic blizzard for five minutes. It was literally a blast!

After a quick lunch at Mickey D’s and a quick stop over at the hotel for some rest we headed out to the Willobank Reserve to watch Ko Tane – a traditional Maori performance. The Maori culture has very unique song, dance and facial expressions. The show engages the audience so Marge, Bart and I took turns dancing, singing and making facial expressions. We headed back to our hotel for our last day in Christchurch. We fly to Queenstown tomorrow.
