Goodbye Gollum!!

---

Before we said our goodbyes to Gollum, we had a few more days in NZ. Stopping at Lake Tekapo – crystal clear blue lake with a massive Lord of the Rings like 360 degree view. Also stopped right next to Mount Cook – and walked to Tasmen Glacier where we saw icebergs!!



Couple of days in Christchurch and Auckland before we said our goodbye to Gollum – Christchurch has been devastated by the Earthquake, with most of the Centre of the City completely cut off – buildings empty, houses ripped off coastal hills etc. The town is using cargo containers as a mini pop up town. Finished our NZ journey in Auckland; a really funky city – the views from the Sky Tower are great. In the pub at night group of local talent singing and playing guitars – luckily they didn’t hear either of our dulcet tones! New Zealand is wonderful – but now off for a Singapore Slammer!!
