Imagine the Swiss alps and you have an idea of what its like in Hanmer. Very beautiful and lots to do. There are hot pools and adventure activities or you could just sit and watch the day go by. https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/story/6069/New-Zealand/Hanmer-Springs Travel New Zealand tourist https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/story/6069/New-Zealand/Hanmer-Springs#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/story/6069/New-Zealand/Hanmer-Springs Thu, 7 Jun 2007 16:20:00 GMT 0 <p><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/aphs.worldnomads.com/tourist/3690/NewZealand059.jpg" alt="Friendly Seal at Kaikoura" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>My sister and I traveled to New Zealand for a short getaway. We landed in Christchurch and drove straight to Kaikoura where we stayed for a day. There isn't much to do there apart from some sea viewing and whale watching. The whale watching costs a whopping AUS$130 and for someone who gets a little motion sickness it’s not an ideal way to spend your day. Kaikoura is a very small town and it would be a nice place to stop and take a break from driving. That's about it.</span></p> https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/story/6068/New-Zealand/Kaikoura Travel New Zealand tourist https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/story/6068/New-Zealand/Kaikoura#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/story/6068/New-Zealand/Kaikoura Thu, 7 Jun 2007 16:12:00 GMT 0 Alpine Triangle https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/photos/3690/New-Zealand/Short-Trip Travel New Zealand tourist https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/photos/3690/New-Zealand/Short-Trip#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/tourist/photos/3690/New-Zealand/Short-Trip Thu, 7 Jun 2007 15:57:00 GMT 0
