Christchurch Gondola

We went to the Gondola after we checked in our last accomodation YMCA.

Took a public bus number 28 from Colombo Street bus exchange. As this is the first time that we had taken a public bus, we were extremely and obviously lost. Although we know that this bus will reach our destination, the bus leaflet on the bus did not show where were the bus stops that this bus stops along the way. We kept comparing our map with the bus route to make sure that we won't miss the stop. We had been looking obviously lost that a kind old lady offered her help and told us that this bus will definitely stop at the Gondola. So embarrassing!

The 945m Gondola lift from the base station located in the Heathcote Valley to the top of the port hills which is almost 500m above sea level. From the top, it provides a stunning views of Christchurch city, Southern Alps, Canterbury Plains, Lyttleton Harbour, Pegasus Bay and Pacific Ocean.
