Hello again, ...and now the end is near! Just one more day remaining in the South Island of New Zealand... Well, what have we been up to here? This has been more of a relaxing time than previous weeks, hence the lack of updates! We started by treating ourselves to a hotel, rather then hostel, in Christchurch- Hotel SO!
