Gondola ride

15 10 2014

I’m not a fan of gondolas, cable cars, aerial tramways, or whatever you want to call any vehicle suspended over ground by a single flimsy-looking cable. But I’m getting better at overcoming my fear, and so with three supportive friends, I rode on the Gondola just out of Christchurch, NZ to the top of the mountain. It was a glorious day and the views from the top were just stunning.

Here are a few of the many photos I took.

Seen in the tourist shop at the top of the Gondola ride in Christchurch,  New Zealand,  or at the beginning of the ride.

Pretty much nothing is south of NZ!
