Time to pause and catch our breath

Last night we went to Flame for dinner. The princess said it was one of her best meals so far in New Zealand.

The place

Some of the gang waiting for their meal.

The steaks were wonderful

After the nightly gelato, we called it a night.

This morning we were promised a luxury coach ride to Christ Church. I thought as I stare out the window of our coach to share a few pics that did not make it to earlier posts.

Sheep having breakfast.
A ram up close. Love the horns.

The above bird is the kiwi. It is the national bird of new Zealand. It can’t fly. It is not good to eat. But New Zealanders love their kiwis.

The view from the coach.
Incredibly green hills.
Our coach.
Richard our driver and tour guide. He talked non stop for two hours. He is immensely proud of his country. Very knowledgeable.
A stop along the way.
Incredible.
The gang with the highest peak on New Zealand in the background.
Mt. Cook
My princess!

We got back on the coach and shortly had an emergency. A flock of sheep blocked the road. Check out the video.

What a treat!

If the video does not work here is a picture.

They love their sheep.

Then it was on to lunch where sir Edmund Hilary trained before Everest.

The name.
Lunch.

Here are a few more shots from the coach.

Everywhere you look.

We are at one last sightseeing stop before finishing our trip to Christ Church.

We missed the service.
The church.
A statue of a sheep dog. What kind of dog did you expect? A pit bull?

As I titled this entry it was a day to pause and catch our breath. The princess is at 100 percent. Junior silverback and I have a bit of a head cold. GOAT and sheila are taking drugs and are clean and healthy. The most interesting man in the boulders jumped out of the bus and is limping. We hope he is ok for our hop on hop off day tomorrow. Until then have a good sleep.
