Today we were hoping to get a stop off at Mount Cook on our return to Christchuch but as it was a driving day it was chucking it down. We barely made the trip between the car park and the visitor centre without getting drenched so we decided to break our journey further north hopefully with better weather. A quick stab at the guide book revealed Peel Forest Park which provided a pleasant walk round some very large old trees (1000+ year old Totura, 9m circumference, on the aptly named Big Tree walk) and on to a waterfall. By the evening we were back at Speights tucking into another delicious if not enormous meal. Hazel managed to squeeze the night off so joined us for food. Later that evening we were to sample some Christchurch nightlife. After a couple of café bars we hit an Irish bar, we were meant to head on to the concrete club (d’n’b night club) but before we knew it we were closing in the early hours of the morning. Unlike good ale you can export Guinness anywhere (though the first round of Guinness reminded us that old beer is not good beer).
