NZ #3: Southern Alps from west to east & Christchurch arrival

Great way to wake up with a beach sunrise

Hokitika hotel beach view

Flowers along the route over Arthur Pass


Beautiful snow-capped peaks all along the way




Arthur Pass sign


Sunshine after the rain!


Conifers that change color with the season... wow!

East coast sunset on the beach in Christchurch

Lyn and John Geldard: My hosts in Christchurch and friends of the Whalons

Lyn and I ... apparently I am being funny.

Christchurch earthquake aftermath!  Sadly this is not uncommon

Since buildings are in process of being rebuilt... many have switched to container stores (even this bank!)

The containers have a modern look though and are quite nice!

This is Spartan country!  (Lyn and son Nathan wearing Spartan tie)
