South Island - Lake Tekapo/ Christchurch

Day 18-21

Lake Tekapo

This seems like a popular pie place, and with lots of tourists.
Beef Steak (5nzd)
Finally check-in to Christchurch Hostel.
All Star Inn on Bealey

8 bed female dorm (63nzd for 3 nights)
This is the best hsotel in this trip. Every room there is a medium fridge, each bed with a good size locker, bed is comfortable. I have the whole room alone for 2 nights and with another lady on the 3rd night.
Kitchen is not very big
Toilet and bathroom is big and well equipped with dryer.


Cardboard Cathedral
185 Empty Chairs
A temporary art installation reflecting on the loss of lives, livelihood and living in the city following the earthquake of 22nd Feb 02011.
Cashel street
 Field of 4,398 White Memorial Crosses remembers those form the wider Canerbury region who died a hundred years ago in teh First World War.
Thai Container
Very popular thai food outlet with waiting queue.
        It is jsut tempting to see hot food in cold weather but the taste is not at all compatible with our worst thai food here.

Pad See Eiw (14nzd)

Day 19
Take a stroll walk from hostel to city, around 15-17mins.


Ice cream (5nzd)

They have this food fair every friday at the old cathedral square.







Beer (7nzd)
1nzd off for All star inn guest.


Day 20
Took Bus 100 to the Farmer's Market.

This is a very nice place, probably the best in Christchurch.
Very happening, lots of food, music and plenty to shop.



Honeydew 500g (12nzd), Manuka UMF 6+ 500g (25nzd)
They have a report stating that if storage in above 27degree after 4 months the UMF level will increase to above 10.


Nuremburg Bratwurst (7.50nzd)
This is pretty good too:)
Sitting on the grass lsitening on the accoustic is also an enjoyment.
After the market, walked about 12mins to Riccarton Mall.
This mall is much better shopping than the city. I can see Kmart, Footlocker!
After 2hrs walking around and went back to hostel, pick up my luggage and head to Jucy Snooze Christchurch.

Back to Jucy Snooze Christchurch (31.50nzd) as have early flight next day.




Feijoas
Very nice fruit from NZ
Today is not as crowded as my previous stay.
My last night to eat one of NZ best food, Lamb cutlet
Check-in early to airport, visit their lounge.



Didnt have much breakfast, the amaretti biscuits is very tasty!
My loots from south island.
