Not a very long blog tonight. We are now in Christchurch.

We left a rainy and cold 12*c Kaikoura. The temps drop so quickly from day to day. Along the coastal road the traffic was light because it was Saturday and early and poor weather I assume.

We only stopped at Cheviot for a coffee break and so arrived at Christchurch by lunch time.

We walked through the city centre and saw the broken cathedral. Then we strolled along the riverside. There are Maori mosaic paths and points of interest like Captain Cook statue. The walk goes on for a couple of miles.

Our hotel is right by the airport.So that’s handy for when we leave early Monday morning .

We went to the seaside nearby at New Brighton and had dinner. The sun has been shining and it’s warmer 20*c now

Tomorrow we are going to explore Arthur’s Pass.

Has half term started now? I hope you enjoy it xxx
