Last stop


We're now in our final hotel, in Christchurch's Cathedral Square. It was a wet day with very low cloud, so we couldn't see Mount Cook when we woke up even though we were right next to it. So you've got a picture taken yesterday when it was visible.

We drove to Christchurch with just one stop, at Geraldine. This has a wool shop with the world's largest jersey, and a reproduction of the Bayeaux Tapestry created as a mosaic of 2,000,000 pieces of spring steel.

Tomorrow we've got a trip which takes in a 4-wheel drive 'Unimog' (which looks like a coach body stuck on the back of a lorry), a jet boat ride, and a trip on the TransAlpine scenic train through Arthur's Pass.
