Our Last (and Best) Scenic Drive: From Blenheim to Christchurch

It seems only fitting that our last scenic drive was one of our best scenic drives.

This journey, which took us from Blenheim on the South Island, through Kaikoura, and then finally back to Christchurch, would take a determined driver only about five or six hours. But we turned it into a two-day trip, and just drifted down the road, stopping every so often pull over and take pictures, or get out of the car and just watch the ocean for a while.

Once again, we'll let the photographs do the talking.
