South Island of New Zealand. CHCH

We landed in Christchurch from Auckland 2 days ago.
We spent some time settling into the south island. Which only really means we have been lazy.

We decided to take it a bit slow. No surprise it is exhausting staying at every hostel, hotel, backpackers place for only one night and taking off the next day. It definitely helps to have a rental car to throw everything into, without having to pack perfectly.

After 2 nights at a backpackers place called Point Break we are heading south to hopefully see yellow eye PENGUINS! (In Oamaru) Then heading to Dunedin.

Christchurch has been a nice start off point. Yesterday we took a scenic drive to Akaroa. Stopped at Barry Bay cheese and wine shop. Learned how they make cheese and watched a cheesy video.
It has been nice and snow will visit us soon. I am sure. Let's hope we don't have to put on the snow chains anytime soon!
