South Island Trip #4

A change of plans from what I said yesterday. Due to the pricing of hotels in Queenstown area I decided to head down to Dunedin instead.

The weather wasn't the best today, the further south I went the worse the rain came. So not many things were seen today.

So firstly, was a quick look round Christchurch, here is what I saw:

Then I went onwards to have a look around Ashburton, absolutely nothing outside. So onwards to Timaru where there was a bit more going on with just locals outside:
