We visited the Christchurch Botanic Gardens in Hagley Park. Spectacular. Walked along the Avon River - one of the highlights of Christchurch in my opinion.
Picked up friends from Christchurch airport and drove to Dunedin.
Fresh fruit icecream along the way and a very nice dinner at the Oamaru Workers Club which was one of the few places open on New Year's Day. We have found very nice people everywhere along the way in New Zealand so far.
Stayed at the Mecure Leisure Lodge, Dunedin. Exceptionally nice place. A pity if was such a short visit.
