We got in a quick but good trip to the South Island of New Zealand. Covid was found in the country the second to last day of our trip and the entire country went into lock down the last day of our trip. We were lucky that we already had a flight home and our vacation was not really impacted by the trip. Everyone was given 48 hours to get home. After that all travel was to stop.
I went to Christchurch and spent 3 nights then I spent two nights in Dunedin and two nights in Invercargill. Our trip included tagging the south tip of the south island, that is by far the furthest south I have ever been. But it was still closer to the equator than my home in Seattle. Seattle is a lot further North than most people realize.
This first batch of photos is from a place called Castle Hill, it is about an hour outside of Christchurch
