Week Five -
Visited Hamner Springs, a few hours drive from Christchurch - really cool quaint town in the mountains with a number of hot springs to soak your aches and pains (or warm you up in our case), but stupidly forgot our swimmers - doh!!! Oh well its not far to drive we'll have to visit again hopefully when it snows so the experience will be extra special. Then decided to drive further up into the mountains - as Paul wanted to see some real snow. The views were amazing and then the snow started coming down - really got us in the festive mode even thou in reality it's actually summer back home - Weird!! Spent the rest of the weekend at Sumner Beach about half hour drive from Christchurch - perfect day - the sun was shining and lots of people milling around on the beach. The views again were outstanding - from the beach you can see the snow peaked mountains in the distance. Perfect weekend all round i think.
Week Six -
Settling in. Finding out how much of our paycheck seems to go to the rent check and pack-n-save. Jeez, the price of fruit n veg and meat is silly money, even in the cheapest pile it high supermarket
