I finished my last week in Australia and left yesterday for New Zealand. My last week in Melbourne was spent packing and running errands, doing things like cancelling my bank account and library card. The weekend was great though. On Saturday Amy and I went to St Kilda. Our first stop was Luna Park. We went to Luna Park to see the rollercoaster that my mom had read about and told us to see. It's the world record holder for the oldest still in use roller coaster. While this may concern some people, Amy and I went on it, and it was really fun! Luna Park itself is a very fun amusement park, and we also went on another ride that goes upside down. Amy was scared, but I loved it. We also ate cotton candy! After, we walked down the beach in St Kilda and went to the St Kilda Pier. Saturday night we had a party for Alison's birthday. It was a great time, and our last big event in our apartment.
Wednesday I flew from Melbourne to Christchurch, New Zealand. I had to go through customs, but it was pretty easy. Christchurch is called the Garden City, and it's a very pretty city. It has a very large cathedral, which is in the center of town. On Thursday I explored the city a bit, and went to the Canterbury Museum, which is a very very good museum. The weather was wonderful today, it was sunny and just warm enough that you can wear just a t-shirt.
So far I really like New Zealand and am excited for the next couple weeks.
