After Hanmer springs we drove to Christchurch to pick up our home on wheels for the final 2 weeks of our time in NZ. I didn’t take a single picture of the holiday park in Christchurch but it was basically a parking lot with lots of toilets and showers.
With all our kids stepping on each others in the confines of the motorhome, Kylie and I were seriously reconsidering our life choices! When the kids caught me looking up our rental contract to see if we could return it they began reassuring me: “don’t worry dad, we’ll get in the groove” it became a bit of a mental health mantra.
So after some shopping at the mall (way busier than any Canadian mall and with a hopping mostly Asian food court) and stop at a local park we hit the road for Arthur’s pass.
The benefits of campervans became apparent right away when we drove past the castle rock area and stopped for a beautiful hike. Our house on wheels made it easy to pack for a day hike and adjust our night destination on the fly.
The boys found a bit of exposure and Mikaya got my adrenaline flowing by insisting on following them.
Think writing on stone but way bigger and harder. Readers may be familiar with this area as the setting for the final battle scene in The Lion the witch and the Wardrobe.
Some really fun lines.
And photo ops.
