On the Second day of our mini break in Christchurch today the plan was to drive around the place, see what remains and what is missing since our last visit when we had some great meals and times in some of the older buildings around the area.

After heading over Dyers Pass, to Lyttleton farmers Market it was off to Sumner, while we saw the images on TV to be near them even after 3 years just shows the power that was involved. A great drive up here with some wonderful views,

Mrs Dragon soon had the cache in hand, what a great spot

ABL973 found this cache while taking advantage of a long weekend from Melbourne. I brought several travel bugs with me which will visit this cache and for some TBs I'll drop them off for the next cacher to take on their adventures. The weather has been much better than I expected and the variety of hides that I've discovered has been good. I also managed to meet a few other cachers which is always a bonus. Thanks to NZTIKES for placing this cache.

Went for a nice caching tour in New Zealand. Starting again from Queenstown going Westcoast up and Eastcoast down.. Nice things seem to be found here. First it looked like all day raining, but then we sometimes had good conditions. Thanks for all the nice caches.
 
03-Nov-12
Found by Team Ladava with baby&Mrs gopher on the final morning of our New Zealand Mega odyssey.
The beauty of the view is in sharp contrast to the devastation we have seen in the area.
So many lives lost or changed forever.
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us anonymously to their favourite spots.

Our thanks to NZTIKES for the cache and bringing us to this location.
Cheers from Australia

270 - What an awesome view from up here! I hadn't been to Sumner since before the earthquakes so it was great to be back for an hour or two. I didn't realise this place was here, it's terrific. The wind was a bit cold this afternoon but the view was certainly worth the effort to come over and find this cache. Thanks for placing it.

#1,080: Rock View.


Stopped by to see Margaret today with TikvaNZ, on our way back from an unsuccessful attempt at Pirate's Peak. Cache found in good shape, but the GPSr was about 5m off. Nice day for some caching.

Great spot especially as the sun just came out and made the view even more beautiful. Can't believe it took us as long as it did to find the cache tho. TFTC

#245 This took MacPacMum back to her childhood holidays she spent with her Great-Aunt Mollie who used to live one house down the hill. The view bought back many happy memories. It used to be a set of garages on this corner not the entry to a whole lot of houses and a memorial seat with a fantastic view.
