CANTERBURY red & black

by pepples46 - last update: Aug 21, 2006

Midwinter, but lunch is good and plenty
Mid Winter in Canterbury...2005!

I added a very good Map to my Travelouge, have a look and you et an idea where the destination you looking for are
Wintertime
Canterbury stretches from Kaikoura in the North to Timaru in the South..hence it's called North -Canterbury , Mid-Canterbury with Christchurch Region and the Capital, to South-Canterbury, where Timaru is the Main Port for Farmers, Acriculture the main Income source, goods are shipped out from here......can get real cold, that knocks your socks of from June till Aug
take care
the many landscapes in Canterbury, good Roads only dangerous when you can't take your eyes of the stunning scenery.
sometimes that's not easy to do, like here at the road into Hanmer Springs, towards the Southern Alps..this road bend has taken its toll, be carefull and do what the sign tells you.its not funny to fall down a big ridge.

Pros:"many opportunities for exciting activities"
Cons:"some of them I mentioned already"
In A Nutshell:"sometimes, for no reason at all,I just have to take a deep breath!"
