I had an awful nights sleep - there wasnt enough room in the car to recline the seat much , that and the risk of an axe murderer hacking me up in the night and that every truck that went over the bridge - all 500 of them made a hell of a noise all through the night . I woke at 5am and the sun was coming up so went for a quick walk and then decided to hit the road - the picture below is the sunrise at Kaikoura at about 5:30 am.
I arrived in Christchurch at about 8am , got some breakfast and went to the Chch Airport where I put all the bikes onto the bike rack (except hayleys - wouldnt fit because of the trainer wheels). Was still a couple of hours until Anita, Hayley and Bradley flew in from Wellington, spent the time lying in the sun and reading. the arrived about 11:30am and we headed off south.

A quick stop at the cookie time factory and another at Temuka for a pottery break and some lunch in Timaru was all we did on the way down - arrived in Dunedin just on 5pm and at mum and dads in time for dinner.
This is bradley enjoying the drive down from Christchurch.
