We flew into Christchurch, NZ and stayed for 10 days in Lyttelton where Daryl, a friend Patchen met on his 2 year trip around the Pacific rim almost 30 years ago, and his family welcomed and integrated us into their lives.
It was time to settle in and not move for a bit. It was refreshing. Daryl and Kate helped us see the best sights of Lyttelton and Christchurch while also helping us plan our 3 week road trip around the South Island. While the adults planned, Mia and Jasper played.
We visited Willowbank Wildlife Preserve, finally went mountain biking twice - once at the Christchurch Adventure Park, hiked several times, went to the duck race, visited Christchurch Central City, Botanical Gardens, and Riverside Market, and Mia went trick or treating with Jasper and his school.
