Day 14....Timaru to Christchurch

We have had a easy day today only having to drive 200 klms to get to Christchurch....We stopped at Geraldine & it was such a quaint town....We also had something happen that hasn't happened since we got here....The temperature reached 32 degrees........Miracles do happen.....

That is one massive jumper, a Husband & wife run this shop  in Geraldine & the Husband does all the knitting & the wife sew's it all together....They are knitted on a old knitting machine by hand....I did try on a cardigan but they style just didn't suit me....

Hot Chocolate in a cafe in Geraldine, this was a really thin layer of printed chocolate....

Lemon Meringue Slice- Same Cafe

That's proof that we did get in the 30's.....

Dan thought that the bright yellow lines were so cool, I think it must be because of the snow....

Someone could just not stay awake.....

After nearly a year, things must be very slow going as these signs are everywhere....

This is across the road from where we are staying tonight, the Churches have not fared well at all....The red sign on the fence says "Church shaken worship services continue"

We went to the pub for dinner tonight & we all had a Stonegrill, this was Greg's Surf & Turf....All was going well until Dan dropped his steak & plate on the floor & the plate smashed in 4 pieces.....The waitress went & got him another steak which was really nice of her....

Ummm. Asian Kosco.....that's funny...

We are booked on a flight back home tomorrow afternoon arriving into Sydney early evening, I think that we are all looking forward to getting back home, Greg is not looking forward to going back to work.....We have had a wonderful time & seen some amazing things but as the saying goes there is no place like home....
