Me on the North and South Pole at the same time.
Actually there are two probes of melted snow from the North and South Pole. And I am in the international Antarctic center in Christchurch.This dream could come true in the International Antarctic Center in Christchurch. Most missions to Antarctica start from here. I guess this was for me one of the most interesting things to see in Christchurch. The CBD itself wasn't very profound. Just a couple shops that close at f***ing 17.00 o'clock. The church shows some traces of the Freemason (Freimaurer) There signs were spread all over the church... Conspiracy everywhere...uhuhu
In the late afternoon we managed to attend a lovely contemporary play at the Court Theater. Afterwards we stumbled across the nicely illuminated Art Gallery which gave in my opinion a good example of contemporary architecture.
After CC we went up to Kaikoura and kayaked around the seal colony. This region is very popular for whale and dolphin watching, because the sea level drops tremendously at a close distance to the coastline.
After this we headed for the North Island. On the way up we dropped by the famous Waitomo caves. If I wouldn't have had a cold I would have done the Blackwater rafting tour, but we also enjoyed a comfortable walk and boat ride through them. Probably not as exiting, but also as stunning. We learned
Snow... real snow!!
I thought I wouldn't touch the white gold this season... but a dream came true... :-) In the Antarctic Center. about the glowworm's life cycle and their habits.
Tomorrow (13th of March) we'll both fly out from Auckland. Anke is looking forward to see her family and friends again after returning and I hope to have a good start in Chile. I will miss Anke until I can meet her again in Germany... bye bye.
