Transform!

Hi!
So after we left the Christchurch airport we took a bus which stopped at various places along the route from Christchurch to Haast. We had a chance to take a look at the Southern Alps. Here is a picture:


We also saw how the Southern Alps are uneven and how one side is at a higher elevation than the other. Here is a picture that makes it clear:

As you can see there is a clear line running through New Zealand which splits it into two halves. After we arrived in the city of Haast at around 11 PM we took a bus back to Christchurch. We got to Christchurch around 6 AM. Right now we are Christchurch airport waiting for out flight back to Singapore which departs at 10:50 AM.
