Hanmer, Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve!  And hot and sunny – we played crazy golf in the morning, and I haven’t laughed so much in ages.  This is Rob, trying to get out of the water feature, on the previous hole to the one we were playing – his ball rolled Too Far Back.  “I didn’t bring my umbrella!” he wailed, when he saw where his ball had landed.

The whole course was laid out like a gold town – I’ll draw a veil over my terrible score!  I had fun, so who cares?

It’s all amazing mountain scenery around Hanmer, plus hot springs (which we haven’t bathed in: it’s quite hot enough as it is!) which are the main tourist attraction, summer and winter alike, apparently.  And at an hour and a half from Christchurch, I guess it’s close enough for a day out with the family.
