We had a fabulous time away and it’s been an effort getting back into a school routine again. Why do the holidays always fly by so fast? Here’s just a little collage of all the many things we packed into our week…
The South Island is a beautiful place, we did the Tranz Alpine train trip and the scenery was amazing. We hiked up to Franz Josef glacier. We reached the very bottom of the South Island(Bluff) We stayed in some wonderful places, we even spent a night in Christchurch’s jailhouse! The girls did a horse trek at Lake Tekapo, the boys and Ruffles went quad biking at Picton. There was plenty of swimming at Lake Tekapo. We did a little shopping. We dined out almost every night. The last night of our trip, hubby had booked a Penthouse suite in Picton over looking the harbour (It was a real surprise, I thought he had booked something else!) I could quite easily have stayed another week there, stunning views, beautiful rooms, they even had a gym! (something I could really do with now after all that dining out!) We live in such a beautiful country!
One of the highlights for me was being able to have lunch with Nicky and her girls from Farm Girl Stitching…
Nicky is so lovely and so are her two beautiful daughters! It was a real treat to meet them.
Thank you so much Nicky for the lovely gift and the fudge! The fudge didn’t last very long at all, it was long gone before we reached Dunedin…;o) And the fabrics are perfect thank you again! We have plans to head back to Dunedin in November so maybe we might be able catch up again and hopefully meet your hubby this time!
We had such fabulous weather while we were away too, it was wonderful but very dry in places. We are very thankful to be having some much needed rain here yesterday and today, I hope the rest of the country is getting some too…
It’s bed time for me(insert yawn here)
Night night
