Day 9 and 10: Cairns to Christchurch, Christchurch to Queenstown

Dec 25 - Merry Christmas!! We left Cairns for Christchurch. Our flight had a connection in Brisbane. With the time difference, we reached Christchurch at 12:15am. Long day! :)
Lupin flower fields
Vista point between Christchurch and Queenstown
Lake Pukaki
The next morning, we got our rental car from the Christchurch airport and started off in the direction of Queenstown. We reached Fairlie and stopped for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. (not too options - small town). From there, we drove onto Lake Tekapo - beautiful lake with Lupin flowers on the way. Very scenic. From there, we stopped at Lake Pukaki. You can also view Mt. Cook from there.
Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown
We reached Queenstown around 7:30pm after about 10 hours.
