I am so happy for you two! What an adventure, love the pictures keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have found it to our blog. The weather is very interesting. Each day it has rained.... just a little or a lot. It feels like April/May in MN. I am loving the lack of MN winters. We are having fun...
ReplyDeleteI have looked a the train schedules from Christchurch to Dunedin and find no passenger trains that stop there. I find no scheduled service south of Christchurch. Is that for real?
