Day 23, Rainy day off trail

January 22, 2026

January 22, 2026
Hanmer Springs to Christchurch
Hiked today: 0.0 km

The rain came in the night, as promised, and continued most of the day. After a lovely breakfast at a nearby cafe, we checked out of our room at 11, and spent a few hours reading in the local library before catching the bus to Christchurch.

The trip was smooth and we arrived early, checked into our cute ‘pod’ room at the BreakFree hotel and are around the corner at Basmati ‘best Indian cuisine ‘ for dinner.
