5.00Pickup was on time. Basically this is a very long ride from Lake Tekapo to Christchurch, almost nonstop for nearly 4 hours. Driver guide Renee did check with us if we needed a stop though everyone chose to push on. She also put in a lot of effort to provide a thorough commentary throughout the drive, pointing out interesting places and things and shared anecdotes about NZ, Christchurch etc. It was a long ride but it was relaxing and at points, entertaining as Renee shared fun stories.
