Our BIG move

This is my diary of our new life in New Zealand up to 2011 when we moved to QLD to be near our grandchildren...

The Drive towards Christchurch

The drive to Christchurch was a sunny one, the picture on the left was when we crossed a river over an old iron bridge, it was a tight squeeze but there was an artic lorry behind us!









The drive was through windy roads over hills and valleys, and then we came across our first South Island Beach, somewhere near Wharanui and Halfmoon Bay.









The beach was a pebble beach, the sea was clear and the sun was shining, I could have stayed there all day walking along the shore.....



We drove for a while longer and then we saw the mountains in the distance, and crossed a few rivers, New Zealand is certainly a picturesqe country and I look forward to making a home here.

    Hiya Kat n Rob. Just had a quick look at your blog. Hope you are still enjoying your visit to the extreme south :) Another dump of snow is forecast for Thursday here but for the moment we have blue skies - still chilly though.
    Take care, give us a buzz when you are back in Chch and we will get together and introduce you to a few people. Bye for now, Jo
