New Zealand - Road trip with Beth and Gerry and Diana

Diana's brother Gerry and sister-in-law took us on beautiful road trip from May 8 - 11. We started in Christchurch and went up to Hanmer Springs (WARMMMMMMMM) then over Nelson Pass to Motueka. We spent two nights in Motueka at the Holiday Park and did a day trip up to Takaka and area for the beautiful views. Our next night was in Greymouth (Holiday Park) on the western coast and we detoured through Westport and then by Punakeiki Pancake Rocks for some spectacular views. We came back via Arthur's Pass.
