After Mount Cook, Sue drove us back to Christchurch where I would spend the night before my flight to San Francisco.
On route we stopped at a church (as it was Sunday)which had the most spectacular view of a lake from the Altar window. Then we travelled on to a wool wholesalers which was called the "Tin Shed' Quaint little place which was in A TIN Shed and it sold hand creams and merino woollen hats, gloves, jumpers coats etc and it gave away free tea/coffee and cookies.
Outside there were paddocks with sheep, pigs, llamas, chickens and rabbits which you could go in and feed the animals. A really cute place
Back in Christchurch and I'd booked into a lovely hotel which was 'tudor?' style. The room was huge and the double bed so comfortable that I couldn't sleep. Outside was a replica of the Excalibur sword set in a stone and all the rooms had names like Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleaves etc.
We had our farewell meal out in town and it was sad to say 'goodbye' to the people I'd shared the last 21 days with. I know I'll stay in touch with quite a few people that I've met along the way and once I'm back in the UK, there'll be lots of catching up to do.
The following morning I went into Christchurch and did a whistle stop tour of the town with Lisa on an old tram . I then took a look around the Cathedral and took photos of the 'modern' art - A huge chalice and a giant purple sperm which were right in front of the Cathedral - what's that all about!
After Lunch the shuttle bus picked me up from the hotel and off via Auckland to San Francisco. Homeward stretch now!
Love Sue
