My Big Cous Gets Married


After leaving Queenstown we stopped a night in Christchurch where we felt our first earthquake. It was only a small tremor but was still pretty scary and I can’t even begin to imagine what the huge ones had been like.

My family managed to pick us up from the right bus stop in Nelson despite my awful contact. We spent the night with my family as they had a lovely place on the hill overlooking Nelson then the next morning it was off to the beach where my cousin, Mel was getting married.

It was a bit of a cloudy start to the day so we were slightly worried but by the time we got to the beach the sun had come out. The ceremony was lovely and we were on the most gorgeous beach called Little Kaiteriteri where the sand is a golden colour I have never seen before. After the ceremony we headed back to the yacht club where the girls were having their evening do. It looked really lovely as they had a rainbow theme so all the tables were covered with coloured candles. 




We're on our last six days in New Zealand now so we had to think about what we wanted to do with them and..... we've hired a car. She's called Candy and she's our babe. She costs about £7.50 each a day so we thought why not? And so far we've managed to successfully drive about an hour, back to Kaiteriteri because we really fancied some time on the beach chilling out. Fingers crossed Candy will get us back to Nelson safe and sound.
