Christchurch, Erwywell, Arthurs Pass and the South Island of New Zealand Nov 14-21




Christchurch, Erwywell, Arthurs Pass and the South Island of New Zealand Nov 14-21

November 14- and we discovered that we had made an error with our flights. When we had first landed in New Zealand we arrived in Auckland however we supposed to depart out of Tauranga 4 hours drive away. The vehicle however had to be returned to Auckland so Emily and I drove to Auckland in the morning while the others took a flight. We met them in Auckland after an early morning drive and breakfast at one of the amazing bakeries, returned the van and checked into the airport and then flew together to Christchurch. We arrived in stormy skies and cold fresh temperatures of 6 degrees. Thank god for the Merino wool sweaters we bought in the North Island.
We had a house booked North of Christchurch in the community of Eryewell, which was a 3000 square foot ranch style bungalow with 5 bedrooms 5 bathroom house complete with laundry, a triple car garage, a billiard room and large eat in kitchen. We were not slumming it by any means on this one.
