Today we went on our trip out of Christchurch to Hanmer Springs! These are natural hot springs in the mountains that have been opened to the public. The water was soo warm but smelt quite eggy (due to the sulphur in the water... Clearly).
After our relaxing time in the spa we got Jimmy our guide to cook us up some sausages. Yum yum! Then it was time for our Jet boating trip. Yay! It was fast, exciting and scary at times as the driver went within inches of the rocky sides of the canyon! It was very scenic and the water of the river was amazingly blue (See picture).
Finally we went to Beer School and tasted several local beers whilst being taught about the different hops and barley that was in them.
Very hot and sunny day. Tan coming along nicely (well I (Amy) have a red streak down one arm where I missed with the suncream- ooops!).
Off early tomorrow to Westport on first leg of Kiwi Experience.

ReplyDeleteHey!! I don't even know why I am posting this blog, well actually just to tell Chucki that I had the creepiest dream about her. Holly know's all about it and I can confirm that she has been having wierd spasms more than often (I think that Bonnie and Clyde(only Butterworth's would say) have not been giving her her pills!)
