Then onward, but before we arrived at our destination, we had one more stop. A little shop of various products made from Merino wool. Cathy purchased a scarf, well actually she purchased the yarn, a blend of merino and alpaca, and will have to make the scarf!
We continued on our way to arrive at Otahuna Lodge, outside of Christchurch. This is a late 19th century mansion and grounds that have been converted to a lodge. For our first night, we are the only guests! Though they do have local in for the fixed menu dinner. After being shown around we settled in, then, since we were going to dine in the formal dining room, we dressed for dinner! We met with the guest services resident for cocktails and canapés. Then we went in for dinner, which was superb. Hope Carrie enjoys the pictures.
Thank you again for sharing these pictures. Love the way they served your food! Also I would have enjoyed that menu!! Elaine
