We got away from Invercargill at 8am, Oooops free.

We had a very smooth easy drive north up into the southern alps and Queenstown, arriving at about 10:30. Continue reading →

We had a big day today with about 332km to cover and a fair bit to see on the way. We got away around 8am, when we got another “Ooops” come from the back seat. Continue reading →

Last night we went to Spags Italian Restaurant for tea and then walked down to the Lantern Festival along the river in Christchurch’s western parklands.
Guess what, Lantern Festivals are best viewed at night, who would have thunk!!! Continue reading →

It had to happen sooner or later, this was our very first holiday that got started with an “Oooops”. That moment came in the taxi on the way to the airport.  Continue reading →

Flights booked, accomodation booked, car almost booked.

Looks like we are ready 🙂

We meet Georgie and John on March 2 in Christchurch

We left Daylesford at around 7:30am and got home at a little after 3pm.

Besides our GPS wanting to have us go home via McLaren Vale (it must know we like a drop or 2 of wine) the trip was easy.  Deb thinks Daylesford is so close we should visit it more often. 🙂 Continue reading →

For some reason, because we weren’t in any particular hurry to get away this morning, we were both up by 6:45am and we were on the road around 7:30 for Daylesford.

We took our time this morning, we were in no hurry to get on the road, we only had a short trip to our overnight stay at Rosedale.

It was an easy trip, with a short stop at Orbost , for morning tea at the local bakery and then again at Sale for fuel. Continue reading →
