Left Tekapo for Christchurch and witness the awesome works of nature!As mentioned earlier, enroute to Christchurch, we went to the quaint little town called Geraldine. It was a much bigger town compared to Lake Tekapo, much more vibrant especially with the presence of a weekend market ;) There, we bought the local jam products called Barker’s. The shop offered free tasting, not just for its jam products, but also sauces, juices and curds. Yummy!

Weekend market in Geraldine. I bought a scarf from one of the stalls.. hehe..Back @ Christchurch:
Guess which hotel we stayed when we reached Christchurch? Hotel SO again hahaha!! No doubt the room was small, we were happy with the cosy space, free wireless internet and convenient location.
Best thing was, through wotif (I swear by it!), Hotel SO offered "SO Festive Package" at NZD99/night which included 2 cocktail drinks and 2 breakfasts. Couldn’t ask for more! The cocktail drinks we ordered were worth NZD21, while the breakfast cost NZD35. We ordered coffee which wasn’t part of the package but upon check-out, as the beverages weren’t recorded in the system as yet, the reception staff offered the beverages complimentary! That was another NZD7 worth. So, NZD99 was well worth it! But we risked parking our car on the street (it was free mah hahaha!!). Otherwise, Hotel SO’s parking arrangement would cost NZD16 for 24hours.
