Christchurch South Island New Zealand

January 28.29, 2009

Spent some lazy time sponging off of Bruce and Carolynn. They rent a house fronting on a waterfowl sanctuary and the views out of their kitchen are great. Went into downtown Christchurch and screwed around for a bit. On the 29^th all four of us went up to the hot springs at Hanmer Springs and spent some time in the sulphur pools. Took years and years off our bodies. We left there teenagers (for the most part). Lana, in particular, looked no older than 14 when we left. Probably will be had to explain when we get back to Canada but we can only hope that the effects are temporary.
