My brand new two dollar shop attire. And Carly not impressed with it.
Two Photo Albums - Totally mixed up with pictures from various days as its half nine, been up since six am, skiing all day, and I'm knackered. Its such a hard life.

Day One - Arrived and met with a friend from Bryanston. Mr History - Tim Sellers. Stayed at Marine Bay Backpackers in Sumner, 12k or so from the centre of Christchuch, a really nice place in the bay. Though the weather was horrific. We arrived during what the local TV news claimed to be the worst storm for 50 years. Christchurch itself had 6 months of rainfall in a day, closing numerous roads, and the ski fields were shut because there was 'too much' snow...
...day two... - meant that we drove north once we'd picked up the camper van and went to the Thermal Springs in Hanmer Springs funnily enough
...day three... drove over the Greymouth
and day four...back across the Arthurs Pass and into Christchurch where we are now, and where we've been skiing today (day six), with not one broken bone. There are some photos in and amongst it in those albums.
I'll compile a bit more on these few days, including about getting attacked by a mountain parrot and jumping a 132 bungee (just kidding Mum).

6 days in a campervan? Hows it going? We are thinking about doing the same over summer in New Zealand. Found a site called Find A Camper http://www.findacamper.co.nz seems to have some good deals. Where did you book your motorhome?
