Tom & Caz go down under

We spent 4 nights at a hostel in Christchurch - we even had a TV, fridge and en-suite facilities as well as a solar powered swimming pool, but unfortunately it’s not been hot enough for a swim. We did some of the tourist-y things like riding the tram, going on the gondola, a quick stop at the art gallery and craft market. It’s a nice city to walk around and is very quiet at night although Tom managed to find some night lie - an Irish pub holding a jamming session - about 20 musicians all playing different instruments - it was really good!

You could spend weeks exploring the near-by Banks peninsular, it has so many beautiful coves and vistas - all created from several volcanic eruptions a long time ago!!
