Patrick in Lesotho issue balaclava at Mount Hutt ski field just outside Christchurch.Few fields open as this is the beginning of the ski season but conditions here were fab. Made the most of the whizzy new 6 person lift and soon found our speed. Boys and I at top speed whenever possible, Patrick a bit more cautious!
This is our 4-berth motor home. Just remember that it is winter here now and so pretty cold at night so instead of 'free camping' we have had to stay in campsites most nights just to be able to connect up to the electricity and run the heating system. A bit of a hassle driving this bus around and we should have rented a car (like we did in the North island) and stayed in back packers where we could have hung out with other travellers (so evenings would not be so boring) and got around quicker (this has max speed of 90km). Mind you this might be a good thing because I got a speeding ticket doing more than the regulation 100km ph in the north island (been used to doing 120km in South Africa)!
A quaint tram in Christchurch! Just popped into the city for an hour to pick up a present for my Dad...can't say what it is of course because he likes surprises!
