Alpine Pacific Triangle

After getting our bearings and adjusting to a two hour time change (New Zealand is the closest country to the international dateline and the first to see a new day) we are on the move again. Rented a little car and plan on visiting Waipara, wine country. www.foodandwinetrail.co.nz

May also drive up to Kaikoura, a beautiful sea coast, not sure yet. Then tomorrow, the other leg of the triangle, Hanmer Springs. Natural hot springs and spa.

Christchurch is very English, feels like we are in jolly good England when speaking with people. Learned about a local sport here, popular with the ladies called "Net Ball" Not sure of all the rules yet, sorta like basketball, but no dribbling, just passing. Do I dare say, it's as popular as rugby and cricket.

Hugs to all!
