First day in Christchurch

Our first day in Christchurch we decided to go to the international Antarctic centre which is opposite the airport. The centre was really good and interesting and I would highly recommend it. We saw some little blue penguins that have been rescued because they all have some disability that would mean that they couldn't survive in the wild. We then went on a hagglund ride which was also fun. They can travel up to 56kmh in snow and travel at a 30° angle on the side. We also gapped a 1m crevasse in hagglund which was also pretty cool. Oh yeah we also experienced a Antarctic storm that was coooold. After tha hagglund ride we went to see some rescue Huskies before going back to the penguins to see them getting fed. After the centre we just went back to the hostel and had a game of cluedo.
