Day trippin'

Yet another weekend has been and gone but at least this weekend was slightly more productive!

On Saturday we embraced the tourist in us and went to the International Arctic Centre. It was interesting for the first 5 minutes when we got to ride on one of the show mobile things and then got a bit boring after that...but semi interesting...

Then we took a road trip on Sunday to Hamner Springs which is about an 1.5 hrs north of Christchurch and they have heaps of thermal pools and saunas which was really cool to be sat in them while looking over the snowy mountains. Nice little bit of relaxing me time...not that I need any more of that?!

Heading up to the springs was a weird one....I found it difficult to place where in the world I felt like I was, it almost had a Scottish highland feel to the landscape. Usually a place reminds you of another or has a similar feel to it but this was unique.

But one of my favourite things about the day was that we managed to time our drive home with the sunset which was beaaaautiful.


I've been in NZ a week and a half now...think its time I get my act together and head to Queenstown!!
