We had a leisurely morning. We don’t have any sightseeing planned and just have a two hour drive to Christchurch. We did laundry, took showers and Rick made eggs for breakfast. It rained overnight and the day started off overcast. We went to the Caroline Bay Beach in Timaru to have a look around but it was spitting so we didn’t stay long.
We left Timaru and headed to Christchurch. By now it was consistently raining. We turned off the main road onto to a scenic drive, very pretty pretty but the sights were similar to much of the east coast, fields of sheep, lambs, and cows. We had a nice lunch in a rest stop listening to the rain in our cozy van.
We arrived in Christchurch around 3. We went to the campervan office and picked up our suitcases. Then we drove to the campsite.
It was raining pretty hard so we stayed in the campervan, relaxed, worked on the blog and packed. For dinner we tried to finish up our food so Rick has a salad and I had chicken parmesan. We didn’t have much food left over but what we did have we put in the kitchen and hoped someone else would be able to use it.
Here’s a map of today’s journey.
