On Friday we spent the afternoon at Hanmer - a set of natural springs, just lounging by the sulphur (read - smelly) pools, and watching our boys enjoy themselves plummeting down water slides!
We continued on to Picton that night, and the next morning did what we now are calling 'Extreme Biking!' We rented 8 bikes, and rode from winery to winery with our helmets and chain-falling-off-bikes! It was an interesting ride, to say the least!
Probably the highlight of the day for me was the time we spent at Forrest Estate - we had a private tasting, where someone brought the wine out to our table, and then we enjoyed some badminton and bike riding on the grounds of the winery.
Finally, we took the TransScenic train south from Picton back to Christchurch - this was a 6 hour train ride that took us along the most beautiful coastal highway, and when we finally returned to Christchurch, we had to say our goodbyes to Erin & Stephen . . . but not for long! :)
