Greymouth - Christchurch

A quick post before we check out of our Christchurch Hotel and head home.

Yesterday we left Greymouth in the morning. The weather was still awful but we journeyed through Arthur's Pass, seeing some amazing mountain scenery, despite the weather. After getting over the east side of the Alps, the weather got better within about 1/2 hour. The contrast is amazing. By the time we got to Springfield, the sun was shining and we were in tshirts. We stopped there for a home-made pie for lunch and continued driving to Christchurch.

We checked into our hotel and rested for an hour or two. I went to the local supermarket to get a few NZ goodies, while Neil browsed the net here.

Went to a great little Chinese Restaurant in Riccarton which had fabulous service, cheap prices and delicious food.

Early night for me, although Neil stayed up late and watched the Matrix on TV.

Anyway, gotta go, see you all in Melbourne.

Lots of Love
Nomi and Neil
