At least for me it does. Much of the team has been deployed for a while. I was supposed to be in the second wave, but ended up delayed for almost a while month. But at least I made it to Christchurch on the way to McMurdo.
I had one pleasant afternoon here, amongst a lot of rainy days. So I went to the Botanical Garden to say hello to green things for maybe the last time in a while. My mission was to find the best tree. There were many contenders, but I think I succeeded.
The "best" tree

Runner up tree
This redwood with a huge vine climbing it
The "best" rose
As a spent a bunch of time in the central rose garden too
Dew drop
My ride to Antarctica
A RNZAF C-130 (with obligatory kiwi at the rear).
