Oh Boy!

What else can you say to a sight like this. Sorry lovely blip ladies that I met today in Timaru. This just had to be me choice.
We collected our car in Christchurch this morning in the rain so who would have thought we would have approached mountains in the sun and then be greeted by a sight as beautiful as this.

All this was after a wonderful meeting in Timaru with Rainie and her husband Doug; Dups and her husband Rob and Katey. We had a great look around Rainie's new house which is stunning and well planned. Then we went across their paddock to a cafe called the Stables for lunch where we met the other blippers. They made us extremely welcome and we had a great chat. We left with lots of tips of where to visit on our route and how to correctly pronounce Lake Tekapo and Hokitika. I have remembered Rainie!

Thank you all so much for making us so welcome a along with all the very friendly New Zealand people we have met so far.
