New Zealand is a country of outdoor sports. Strolling around CHC and visiting the shopping malls and streets I come across my favorite stores. Outdoor gear stores. Climbing equipment, skiing, hiking, you name it... All my favorite brands are here. MacPac, Salewa, LowAlpine. There is a good selection of stores just a few minutes off the cathedral square. If anyone ever needs to buy equipment before going on-ice this is the place to do it. Here are a few store names to remember: Kathamandu, R&R Sports, MacPac, Bivouac/Outside, The Frontrunner.
And there is a fantastic map store called MapWorld with maps, guide books and navigation equipment just across the street from The Marque Hotel. Good resources for any interested outdoor person or person heading to Antarctica.
