Christmas day was lovely - as appropriate for our first Christmas Down Under! Annie and Malc hosted the mayhem and as promised we all headed to the beach after lunch. All the kids had received wetsuits and body boards from 'Father Christmas', so they HAD to be christened. Despite the sun, the Pacific was cold, so only the foolhardy (the children, the men and Nana) braved the surf.
On the 30th we headed off to a local hotspot, Hanmer Springs (about 1.5 hours from Chch).
We spent the day wallowing in pools of varying temperatures and mineral content and playing in the kiddy pool of course. We can't wait to try it out again, maybe in the cold or snow!
Also saw our first lenticular clouds!
