Christchurch day 2

So today we got up at about 8. no actually we met for breakfast at 8. I got up at 7:50. haha. but anyways, we had breakfast at the hotel, then we went around the city for a bit of a walk, then went on a tram that gave us a tour of christchurch. after that we went to the market for a bit, then went to the art musume. took a tour there. Then we went to the Gondala and rode up to the top, took lots of photos. but it wasn't a clear day and was raining so we didnt get to see the mountains and such as well as we'd hope. but it was still pretty cool. then we took this super long drive up this other mountain and then on the way down my ears went funny. Having a host father who's an audiologist he knows all about what to do to make them pop, so i used his tricks and it worked! after that we went to whi wildlife place and saw lots of animals, and then we went to this show called Ko Tane. it was about the Maouri people, and at the begining they asked the audiance if one of the males wanted to be the "cheif" and lead our "tribe" to meet the other one. No one raised their hands, and the lady running the first part, asked Lindsay (host dad) if he wanted to be it, he didnt really want to, but he did it anyways. so he had to the the ritual greatings of the other tribe. And it was all really cool. were walking in the bush (forest) and then they pop out and scare us, and it was really cool. then we got speical seats since he was the "cheif" and then in the audiance participation, of course they asked us to be in it. so we got up and learned some dances and such. which was all really cool. then afterwards we went on a Kiwi tour and saw a few kiwi's. After that we drove back into Christchurch, then had dinner at an Indian restruant, and now i'm here typing this. Its been a busy day, and we've been gone all day, but lots of fun. I have tons of photos already! and its only the 2nd day! i'm at 250 already!!!
