Christchurch....

We'll we all arrived in Christchurch with the idea of going on the train over the Greymouth, but the train rails were getting repaired. So we rented a car a bit yearly and headed into Christchurch. Tim and I took a run through the Botantical Gardens. Then we head out for a meal and went to pub to give it a go at Quiz night. We were worthless, we didn't know anything and we were at the bottom of the point scale the whole night. Well we met someone that knew some of the answers and so we had him join our team. He helped us out quite a bit....but then he proceeded to convince the boys that they needed to do the Queenstown Bungy (134 metres) The third largest in the world! So we take off to Queenstown....quite a few hours out of our way. But we carry on. We got there early afternoon and they signed up. We checked out the town. It's a little ski town. The next morning we get in the bus and head over bungy jumping spot. It was crazy....two cables hanging across the canyon with a little bit of water under. We ride in a little basket across the canyon into a glass room with one side open that everyone jumps out of. Except me. I didn't jump, heck no! Anyway, I was the photographer. It was crazy, I was scared just standing up there.
After that we drove up to Franz Josef Glacier....
