I am trying to catch up writing, we're already in the north island, and I still have a lot to write about the south.
From the Boulders we drove to Peel Forest, near Geraldine. There was another waterfall there and some forest tracks that we wanted to check out. The falls turned out to be again unimpressive, but we took a short walk called The Big tree, which as its names states, guides you to a +1000 year old, +30 m high tree, you feel very little next to that.
We slept somewhere there, and in the morning we headed towards Christchurch, the city which was brutally shaken by an earthquake in February this year. 170 people lost their life in the tragical day, and the city center is still closed, while workers are rebuilding it. We wanted to stay a couple of days but the rain and the fact that almost everything was closed made us continue going north towards Akaroa, our next stop.
So, see you in the next post!
Juanma.
