New Zealand Awaits

We were up bright and early to catch a flight to the South Island of New Zealand. We were sad to say goodbye to Sydney, but we look forward to New Zealand excitement.

 6am airport Dexter.

New Zealand bound.

Kids that help are great! 

We landed in Christchurch and we grabbed lunch then headed for the center of the city. We decided to check out the Botanical Gardens.

There was a rose map in the garden showing the hundreds of varieties of roses. We decided to find the most fragrant ones.

New Zealand kids.

Having fun a much cooler New Zealand.

This impressive memorial is dedicated to those who fought and died in WWI. 

Much of the city is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake that did severe damage. Here you can see the damaged Christchurch Cathedral.
