NZ (1) 纽西兰

The center of Christchurch, the Cathedral and Square
基督城的市中心 - 主教座堂及广场


It was the expected day … with anticipation and excitement.

Today we left Sydney for New Zealand on a 10-day tour of South Island. However, the flight was delayed at the airport due to some computer problem.

We arrived at Christchurch 2 hours late. It was 4:30 local time (5 hours ahead of Kuala Lumpur) and it was cloudy, temperature about 11 degree C.

The car rental office has been closed, so we can collect our hired car the next day only. Nonetheless, we took a 30 walk from our hotel to the Cathedral Square – after all, coming to Christchurch, we must do the first thing first - to see Christ’s church at Christchurch!

Being Sunday, many shops closed for business. It was quiet and cold in Christchurch.

Tomorrow we begin our adventure!


这是个期待一天 。。。心情紧张和充满期望。

今天我们将离开悉尼,到纽西兰的南岛,做为期十天的旅游。但是,事情没有这么顺畅。我们的班级,在机场延迟两个小时起飞,因为控制轮胎升降的电脑系统出了状况。

我们的班机延误了两个小时,在当地时间四点半,才抵达基督城。(纽西兰时间比吉隆坡快了五个小时)。当时的气温大约11度摄氏,阴天。

因为班级的延误,我们拿不到所租的车,因为租车公司已经收工了,要等到隔天早上才拿得到车。

无论如何,我们步行半小时,到市中心著名的基督城主教座堂广场(Cathedral Square)逛逛。来到了基督城,必须先向基督打招呼才对。

今天是星期天,商店都休业,所以显得很冷静。

明天才是我们游玩的开始!
