The Kiwi Life - New Zealand, Franz Josef, Hokitika, Christchurch (Day 11, 09 Jun - 21 Jun 2011)

Day 11 - Franz Josef -> Hokitika -> Christchurch

In the morning, we spent a little time to shop a while in the Franz Josef souvenir shop before we heading to Christchurch. From Franz Josef to Christchurch, it took around 5 hours of driving time. (Feel like always gotta sit inside the car while travelling from city to city :P).

In the afternoon, we passed by Hokitika ciy. This city is famous for jade, however we have no time to visit the jade shops in the city. In addition, we saw The National Kiwi Centre there too, but we decided not to enter into it. We only stopped by a while to enter to the New World supermarket. Then, we continued our journey to go to Christchurch.

We finally back to Christchurch (the first city that I reach in New Zealand) in the evening time after long driving journey, it's quite tiring. After having our dinner, we went to Pak n Save supermarket to get some food and snack.

Due to the recent earthquake tragedy that hit Christchurch we unable to visit many places there! The things we saw are some collapsed buildings and architecture. Blessings to Christchurch, hope the local people there can recover from this sad time soon...
