In the morning we were back in Christchurch to visit the Canterbury Museum. It was very well presented and had a number of very interesting sections. We were in the building for about 2 hours before returning to the car to eat our prepared lunch.<\/p>\n

We then moved the car to another car park to visit the Fudge Cottage which had a tour of the fudge kitchen at 2pm. While waiting for the tour to start we were able to nibble on free sampled of fudge. By 2pm we had just enough interested parties for the tour to commence. We were taken to the kitchen and showed some fudge already on the boil. As the fudge was taken through it’s various stages of preparation we were told about the history of the place and given more samples to try out. The best moment was when we were given a spoon of hot\/cooling freshly made fudge to sample. My heart nearly gave out at that point.<\/p>\n

After the fudge factory it was back to the campsite for an hour or so before heading to the mall to meet up with Frank and Karen from Tahina. Having met up we had a simple but tasty dinner at the food court before heading in to watch “The King’s Speech” which was a truly excellent movie. After the movie we stopped for a couple of beers and more of a chat.<\/p>\n

This morning we have to decide what to do. We could stay. We could move on. Weather on the west coast remains poor to mediocre for the next 5 days but it’s better on the east coast. At this point we have not made up our minds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
