Day 58 - To Rangiora (Wed 5th Jan)

Check out was at 10:00 this morning so Chaggie made sure they were up at 09:00 with time to pack their bags and get ready. After checking out we headed to Global Gossip (Internet place) so that Chino could make a few calls and catch up with some of his family.

At about 11:00 we got in the car and headed off to Rangiora, a town with a population of 10,000 just on the outskirts of Christchurch. We arrived at 13:00, our reason for stopping in Rangiora is so that we can stay with family friends of the Stagg's. Lyn and Warren Edmeade, both good friends of Graeme's and have been for years.

As soon as we arrived Lyn was very kind enough to make us some lunch, timing our arrival just perfectly. This afternoon was spent catching up on the blog as well as uplodaing photos etc. Chino caught up on his logbook whilst Staggie kept an eye on the cricket. Was a chilled out afternoon, just what we needed.

Lyn and Warren prepared a delicious Salad for dinner, after our meal we watched some classic British Comedy including 'One foot in the Grave' and 'The Two Ronnies' with a cup of 'Milo' (a hot chocalate drink). Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares wasn't on tonight! Gutting, the British Comedy certainly was a good back up.
