Coming down the mountains ,there was increasing amounts of snow on the ground. Then down came the snow. Mike would like to say blizzard and we were in danger of missing our flight, but in reality it was more a flurry that continued until the outskirts of Christchurch. The wind chill was minus,minus,minus. 
Once in Christchurch,we visited a transport museum….not the one Mike remembered but there were a few cute classic cars.
For our next holiday?
Chitty,chitty Bang bang.
From another era…
Check in time..see you soon.
