The Holidays

The holidays involved much travelling, an engagement party (see our wedding blog) and catch ups. Down to Dunners, Ant and I went on the ferry then in Merlot (my pulsar) and Rusty our mascot to meet and greet the parents and the dog.

On the way......

Saw some seals

We stayed in Kaikoura the night, the next morning it had snowed!

Went to Christchrch for a night

We went to Moeraki Boulders (no one knows how they got there). It was cold, but fun. Lots of great scenary and not a bad cafe.

I was quite chuffed with my seagull shot so added it in.

The dog and my parents loved Ant (the dog even going out for a "smoke" with Ant). While in Dunners, my brother and I treated Ant to an outing at the Bowler, a student pub as he thought he had missed out being by not going to uni. He realised it was a student pub when the bar tender served him a jug and asked if he would like glasses with that...

We also went to the Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street.

Went to a few beaches (with white sand). Ant was amazed by the amount of kelp present.

Saw the pyramids

and some great scenary

Was also a chance to catch up with friends

and go out for dinners (the weight watchers did suffer, gaining 1.4 kilos for the trip) and having fun with Zorro at the casino.

On the way home we went to Waimate's wallaby park, and got to hold a baby one...awww.

We arrived home safe and sound, having a fab time!
