Nearly two years after the epic around the world trip, we finally left the country again, this time with our ten month old son, Harry. New Zealand isn't exactly a far away destination with an exotic culture, but with a baby, it was far enough for us.
A fair amount of the trip was about visiting Kerri's relatives who were jostling to meet Harry. Consequently, much of the time was spent close to Christchurch.
Wildlife was limited to the ducks.
There are some great views of the Southern Alps from Summit Road that runs along the ridge between Christchurch & Lyttelton.
And the views on the Lyttelton side are just as interesting.
Lyttelton was in the process of re-build after to earthquake that was generated in Lyttelton Harbour that also caused widespread destruction in Christchurch.
