Second New Zealand Visitor

Our second visitor to New Zealand arrived three short days after our first. Forrest's Mom, June, traveled to Christchurch from San Diego and arrived 3 March staying through 20 March. Together we enjoyed Akaroa, Lewis Pass and Maruia Hot Springs

Lunch in Akaroa (fish and chip shop burned down 1 week after we visited, no coincidence)
