Arrived in Christchurch on 4th Dec and all is going very well here. Staying with Zak's mum and family for a week or so and then we are going off in a car for a couple of weeks to explore the northern part of the south island. We've been for a drive around Christchurch, the Port Hills and surrounding areas. The scenery is beautiful, although we hear it just gets better and better. We're going to Akaroa on Weds for the day which is about a 90 min drive away from here. Hope all is well with you all. Love us xxxx
