    I did a Jet Boat ride on the Shotover river at Queenstown. If you plan to stay in CHCH for a couple more days, try to visit Akaroa. Nothing fancy but a beautiful old french town. Summit road is better on the way back. The botanical garden of CHCH is also a great place. Make sure to take a loaf of bread to feed the ducks.
    Thanks.. We were planning to visit Akaroa. Beautiful day today 27 Degrees. Full Sun. Had lunch over there in Ma Maison Restaurant. The photo below was taken from our table inside the restaurant.
    Good fudge available in a nearby shop too. I don't eat any sweets but just tried a bit. But my wife does.

    We toured the entire West Coast on our last trip... Nothing planned for tomorrow. We have the whole day and the car till 5 PM. Fly out at 6PM to WLG. Any ideas?
    My son runs all over in Christchurch city on those Lime scooters. He knows the city in and out. :ROFLMAO:
    I have a lot of friends in WLG. So nothing is needed over there.

    NZ exam එක Aus එකට වඩා ටිකක් අමාරැයි කියල අහල තියනවා.
    The day before yesterday my wife tripped and fell down in Lake Tekapo village. I wasn't around when it happened. She had bruising in the knees with slight bleeding but her left hand hit the road. She said possible fracture in the small finger. There was a small pharmacy nearby, and even they didn't have the bandages we wanted, the basic ones were there. I bandaged her hand and thought that when we arrive in Christchurch the next day could do an x-ray.
    In Christchurch we passed the Riccarton Medical centre, which is a Private outfit, and when we went there we were advised that they have an emergency centre nearby with imaging facilities. Drove into there, had a talk with the reception and they said there's a 4 hour wait. All I wanted was only an x-ray even unreported. But as I know it needs a referral from a local doctor. The girl at the reception told me, you better return tomorrow before 8AM. I went in there today at 7.40 AM, there's a queue of about 30 people down to the road. So made a U-turn and came back to the hotel.
    I will see what can be done in Wellington. She has her batchmates who are GP's over there.
