Hi, I am going on my first contiki tour grand exporer starting in christchurch in august 22 2008. can anyone tell me what to expect this time of the year? also i am arriving in christchurch from australia on the 18, is there any must do's in and around christchurch that are highly recommended. Is car hire a good idea?
Any help you can give me is a great help as i have never travelled before.
Thanks
