rtunity to attend a conference in Christchurch, I jumped at the chance to see a part of the South Island. I decided to make sure I would see everything I could during the three day course and over the weekend. But I didn’t’ plan on getting sick. By the time the weekend rolled around I didn’t even feel like going to see the famous art center or riding the tram around the city, which Lonely Planet recommended. I did make it out to see Akeroa. This is a French village about an hour away from the city. It’s definitely picturesque and worth the drive. I looked around the charming shops, ate some fish and chips on the harbor and then went back and crashed in my hotel room for the rest of the weekend. I’ll have to go back when I actually feel like getting out of bed. Despite the thrill of being in a big city again, I was happy to get back to the little familiar towns of Napier and Hastings.
