Woke up to grey low clouds today, so we decided not to drive towards Arthur's Pass as wouldn't have seen the scenery! So, leisurely morning with only an hour and half drive to Christchurch, with coffee stop along the way.
It became drizzly as we neared Christchurch, arriving at B&B around 1pm. The drizzle soon got a little more persistent, so we decided to go to the Antarctic Attraction for the afternoon. A good choice, very interesting place with lots of information and exhibits. Also, there was a Penguin Encounter. We both went into the Arctic Storm room, where the room is at -8C to start with and they then submit you to winds producing a windchill of -18C for about 10 minutes! Had to wear provided jacket (which was needed!) and overshoes to keep the room's snow clean.
Back at the B&B, Stephen & Fay have asked us to join them for a drink at 6pm, before we go out for dinner. Sounds like a good idea and, of course, we accepted!
