Christchurch--Timaru--Lake Tekapo
Our New Zealand adventure started out with a nine and a half hour night flight from Singapore to Christchurch. The flight was a taste to what is to come when going back to the USA, neither Dirk nor I got a whole lot of sleep on the flight. We sat in the baby row next to four other babies, one would be up crying while the other three were trying to sleep then take turns crying... Dylan actually slept pretty well in the bassinet, it was mom who had a hard time sleeping.
Getting into Christchurch was really easy and retrieving our moving house, a Maui campervan, was even easier. We packed up and headed to the nearest grocery store and stocked up for the twelve day adventure ahead.
Instead of staying in Christchurch like we should have and getting more rest, we headed for the open road. First stop was Timaru, 3 hours down south.
I can't say we did too much there but take showers and go to bed early to catch up on sleep. The next morning we woke up and headed for Caroline Bay with a picnic.
After packing up the moving house we headed towards Oamaru taking a small detour to Lake Tekapo.

Amazingly blue water for a lake.
Pretty much all the lakes and rivers were this color. |
