Holiday houses



Mark's done an amazing job of trip planning. We've stayed in some amazing "holiday homes". Our favourite was the one near Christchurch, which featured 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, bath robes, crisp white linen, a very modern kitchen and a hot tub!

Grey, Grey, Grey

That's 4 days of grey and rain so far.

Boulders at Moteuka


On to Omaru



A pretty little town with lots of historical buildings near the waterfront. We also saw the most incredible art gallery in an old restored bank.

Christchurch


Christchurch Cathedral


We love this city! It's full of character and history, lots of hustle and bustle and beautiful buildings. I wish we could have attended a service at the cathedral. It was so stunning.

Another stop!!



It's a good thing I'm doing some of the driving on this holiday, otherwise Mark would just blast past some of these great spots. Traveling is all about the destination for him. I'm more about the journey. The boys . . . they have to choose sides and take votes on our squabbles. It's ok though. We're still hanging in together.
