We enjoyed another nice breakfast at Eden’s Edge before loading the car to drive back south. Unfortunately, not only had it rained during the night, but it was raining quite hard when we packed up.
However, the rain did let up and we even saw patches of blue sky and sunshine.




Arriving in Hanmer Springs, it reminded us of a smaller version of Banff, complete with hot springs. We did a quick grocery shop for a store prepared pizza. Our motel had a commercial kitchen at our disposal complete with a couple of full sized oven! Wonderful pizza!

We ate an early supper and headed across the street to the thermal springs. It was a large area which included a water park.

Tomorrow, I t’s a shorter drive to Christchurch so we have time tor some sightseeing.
