Next day onto Christchurch.We stopped in Geraldine on the way, pic especially for you Sull!!The town is in honour of you!We got to Christchurch early enough, if I can recall.I really liked it there, I think it´s my favourite NZ city.It´s got some lovely buildings and places to visit.First day we were there there was a market on so it was lovely to wander around that.We got pancakes, yum!Some lovely bits there and they have this indoor market, which I think is o...

Hi all, Well, after Nelson, we spent a night in Greymouth. That's all I gotta say about that...! Nothing there, arrived in eve, left early next day. To Franz Josef.
