Going to Christchurch

Today was the day we drove down to Christchurch, the city we is supposed to stay in for the rest of the journey and fly home from. Even if the flight home was some days away it still felt a little like the holiday was ending. A very sad feeling. On the way down we stopped at a beach just outside Christchurch called Waikuku Beach. We had now learned that the Wai in all names was the Maouri name for water. It was a lovely beach like the Baylys Beach we had visited the first day in NZ.

In Christchurch later we entered the biggest camping site we had seen in NZ. It was a Top 10 and had very high standard. We rented a Tourist Unit and to our surprise it had 2 sleeping rooms and a kitchen/living room. We started to get organized, did the laundry and made this our home for the rest of the stay.
