Arthur's Pass

Saturday 4th July 2009
Day 7

We spent the morning at Akaroa, a peninsula an hour out of Chirstchurch before heading onwards and upwards to Arthur's Pass. Snow chains were't required fortunately but it got pretty icy along some of those windy roads.

Arthur's Pass was thick with snow and we did a short walk before sunset and the rest of the gang arrived for dinner. The in-laws hadn't met before but some good ice-breakers (no oun intended) and funny conversations culminating in Shilo nearly burning the restaurant down after throwing her napkin onto the gas fire she thought was an open fire and walking away.
