The main road we followed, SH1, is the NZ equivalent of the M1. However, this is more reminiscent of a B road in the UK, but with less traffic. It was a delightful run. At one point we stopped at a view point where we could see New Zealand fur seals lounging on the rocks just a few metres below us.

Nelson to Christchurch (via Blenheim)
Today, Feb 24th, we traveled down the east coast of South Island to Christchurch. The run, in many parts with the road hugging the Pacific coast, reminded us of Highway 101 on the other side of the Pacific from Seattle down to San Francisco, a run we did back in 1994.
