Our journey has taken us full circle of the South Island and we are now in Christchurch until Sat 29 Nov. The Australian National over 65 cricket is in NZ this year so we're here for the week. The last day at Hanmer Springs was fairly chilled. We did 1 walk through through the Fairy Door walk, where children have made lots of small tree houses and they have them throughout the walking track on or near trees. Popeye fairy house Various fairy houses The other Sculpture walk track was close due to the massive storm that had ripped through the are at the end of Oct. Next on to Christchurch where Lizzy went and visited a craft fair. Then went out to have a look at the beach here before going on to our accom. There is a huge pier extending around 150m out from the shore. The sand on this side of the island is sandy and dark in colour unlike the west coast. Day 1 of the cricket nationals went off without a hitch - but we lost to NZ. Nothing to write home about in this match....
