Hanmer Springs

Today we went to the thermal pools. There were 4 slides. The water was really warm and the slides were fast. We went on:

  • a raft that went down a bowl
  • a raft that went down a dip and up a hill and down again

We also went in some hot pools and a Lazy River Rapids bit. There was a pool with a big bucket of water splashing down. For tea we had a burger and chicken nuggets and chips. They were nice!

Westport to Hanmer Springs

We left Westport and drove to Hanmer Springs. It was quite a drive through the mountains. Along the way we stopped off at a few places including at the same place we did 6 years ago.

(Note from parents: We did a trip to New Zealand in Jan-Feb 2014 when Martha was not quite 1 year old and Sam was 4. We were on the same road to Hanmer Springs and found the same stop that we did 6 years ago. The scenery hasn’t changed that much – still beautiful as ever.)
