Sunset at Hanmer Springs.

Only 1 and half hour drive from Christchurch is a spring (NZ No.1 Tourist attraction - yeah!).

"The town boasts one of the main Tourist attractions of the South Islands, the Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve which is an outdoor thermal pool complex, being popular all year round. You can sit back and relax in natural thermal water, surrounded by towering trees and a mountain backdrop. " Quote from cheesy tourist web page!

Lots of tourists, we saw our first Chav Brit! Quite possibly here as selling agent for Elizabeth Duke and council estate facelift!
