729765 2008-12-16 22:27:00 Dunedin...Take the Taeri train trip.

Christchurch...Take the blue train over to the west Coast . If possible come back by bus/coach. The coach does side trips etc.

Deepest Southland...Visit Pctec in Gore (?).

729768 2008-12-16 23:31:00 You had time to take a pic but not to pop in and see pcteck. :dogeye: Rejected much. :) wratterus (105)
729769 2008-12-16 23:47:00 Christchurch: depends on what activities you enjoy and what your interests are .

Go up the Gondola and enjoy the views .

Drive around the Summit Road, starting from Sumner (a lovely place to visit in its own right) and going down the hill into Cashmere . Only good on a nice day though .

Antarctic Centre - see the penguins, learn all about Antarctica .

Visit Akaroa on Banks Peninsula, a lovely drive and destination .

Visit Orana Park to see the animals or Willowbank to see kiwis and other birds/animals .

If you will be here on a weekend, visit the market at the Arts Centre .

Visit the art gallery .

Yeah why did you not go inside and see PCTEK. Even if you were in a hurry a quick hello would of been nice.

729771 2008-12-17 00:30:00 Napier: Will you have a car? If so, drive to the top of Te Mata Peak, HastingsBugga that... do the 1 hour walk from the car park up to the peak. It's shear stimulation. Greg (193)
729772 2008-12-17 01:49:00 Damn FoxyMX you took all my ideas.

You could head to Quail Island in Lyttelton for an afternoon walking. I've camped out there, really great. Far enough away to be quite, but not too far to be a bother to get to (boat ride takes about 10 mins).
