The Honkers-Kiwi-Aussie Tour: Day 11 Ashburton, NZ


Taxi to Wellington Airport which wins for most scenic and user-friendly airport. Forty minute flight into Christchurch where we taxi to the campervan depot to pick up the vehicle that will be our home for the next week.
Grocery shopping at New World is a fun experience and we head out to Ferrymead Heritage Park. Ferrymead Heritage Park features an Edwardian Township complete with Picture Theatre, School House, Church, Bakery, Jail and Railway Station as well as a fascinating array of museum and heritage collections. There are tram rides on weekends and trains running first Sunday of month and every Sunday December to February . When operating, unlimited tram and train rides are included in the entrance price.
Camping in Ashburton is quiet but average.
