Day 15, March 30, 2016

This is our first full day in Christ Church. It's also the first day we've been cold here. The morning started with left over Korean food and quesadilla (cheese and bean) for breakfast. We headed out to the Orana Wildlife park for the first part of the day.

After the park we went back to the hotel and waited out the rain, which had come in hard and heavy while we were finishing up with the animals.

Nesting in the afternoon while it rains pretty hard outside.

After the hotel we were hungry again so we went for dinner. We had promised Rhys Subway if he was good, so he and Owyn ate there and we went to Nando's one last time. After some great chicken we decided that we needed a walk to work things off.

The Botanic gardens are right across the street from our hotel.

The river.

This tree is spectacularly textured.

The boys had plenty of time to play and work off some more energy. The park, between the botanic gardens and our hotel is just a wide open forest. The boys ran wild through that stretch, screaming as much as they wanted to. Once we got back to the hotel we popped some popcorn and watched some TV.
