Tuesday 17 October 2006 - Hamner Springs & Kaikoura
Made our way north of Christchurch up to Hamner Springs. Straight into Hamner Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. Spent the day hopping from pool to pool relaxing! Some smelling of sulphur but after Rotorua it was nothing! Great way to spend a day!
Short drive up to Kaikoura where we treated ourselves to fish & chip supper! Apparently this was a must do in Kaikoura!!
Wednesday 18 October 2006 - Kaikoura
Beth went on a whale watching trip while the rest of us had a wander and met up with Dawn & David who had just arrived from Hamner - another farewell! Drove up to the seal colony where you could get so close to them - although not really meant to, not that we knew but apparently they attack! we saw the sign afterwards! Rita and Sel tasted some seafood from a little roadside stall. It was fishy!
Drove to Halswell (about 15 minutes outside Christchurch) where we were staying with Ellie's sister's (Tess') husband's (Russell), sister's (Kim) husband's (Jaimie) dad (Alan) and his wife (Pat).
Alan greeted us and soon had us sitting down with a beer until Pat came home and we sat to lovely home cooked food and chatted for the night.
