After Blenheim, we headed South towards Christchurch. On the way there, we stopped at one place and saw some seals! There were adults and babies playing by the water's edge. It was super cute. =)
After arriving in Christchurch, we decided to head to the Antarctic Centre, which is very close to the international airport in Christchurch. If you stop by the international airport and have time, you should try to check it out!
The Antarctic Centre was filled with information about Antartica and penguins! They had this giant stuffed one waiting to play with wombat!
They also had this simulation chamber that would imitate storm conditions as if we were in the Antarctic. For some reason, we CHOSE to go in. They even provided parkas. We also had some booties that were to keep the snow clean.
They even had a mini igloo to demonstrate how it would shelter us from the wind storm that was coming! Afterwards, there was even an ice slide that we went on. Too bad we didn't get a photo of Dad falling on his butt!
We also found a stuffed seal which tried to eat wombat.
Poor David went into the storm chamber in shorts. At least it emphasized the fact that we made the right decision to go to Australia during Boston's winter!
After Christchurch, we were off to the Glaciers!
