Day21 - Christchurch Spent nearly a whole day travelling to Christchurch. Ended up spending two days here and such a shame that the earthquake has still left the town in such a mess still. Today was 2 years since the first earthquake hit but no damaged occurred, that happened in Feb the next year.

Day15 - Wanaka After spending two days in Franz Josef we headed onto Wanaka, we stopped off at a few places where we could see Mount Cook the highest mountain in New Zealand, and it was stunning and the mirrored lake looked spectacular with MT cook towing over the top. We also stopped to see a great view of the Fox Glacier and then headed off to Wanaka. Wanaka is a small sleepy town where a lot of people come to board or ski, I really liked it here. we only sta...
