The beautiful South

We just got back from a weeks vacation in Christchurch (Mark's home town in the south island).
We rented a house about 15 minutes out of town right next to the beach. Unfortunately, being winter and not very good weather, not much beaching was done other than 'wrapped up for Antarctic temperatures' beaching.
A really cool week though, and we did a heap of fun family stuff including: Orana wildlife park, Port hills Gondola, a fav Cambodian restaurant, Spagalimis pizza, and Mark's highlight - an Afghan restaurant where he got to eat Afghan food and speak Dari for the 2nd time in about 4 years. A very happy Mark.
Now back to reality. Sigh.

Laila would spend all day at the beach if she could!
