After promptly leaving the Scenic Route Motel in Geraldine last night (after hating the “last room available”), we skid addled and found the wonderful “The Downs” B&B on the edge of town where we spent a very comfortable evening.

At midnight last night we watched our last NZ star show which was simply amazing, seeing the shooting stars, satellites and galaxies.

One more day left to get to Christchurch airport and enjoy the glorious clear skies with 20plus degrees of heat.
