Trip to Hamner Springs
Spent a weekend in Hamner Springs. The big draw card besides being nestled in the mountains, is the hot thermal springs. You relax in springs verying from 41C to 28C, outside, were the air temprature is around 3C. Hamner is only 1.5 hours drive from Christchurch so it is a valid day trip if you wanted to. It snowed the Saturday night we were there. Not a large snow, but sufficient to stay on the ground.
