The itinerary for the Old Pharts on tour was head up the West Coast. An overnight stay in Hokitika, then on to Westport for three nights. However, torrential rain and an awful forecast, forced a change in plans. The decision was made to head up the East Coast to Christchurch, then on to Blenheim. The weather in both of these places wasn’t great, but the correct decision was made.
Highlights in Christchurch were C1 Espresso cafe, Ballantynes, Francesca’s Italian restaurant and Waitikiri golf course.
Highlights in Blenheim were Chateau Marlborough Hotel and Quenches restaurant, Wither Hills restaurant, Herb and Olive cafe, the movie ”Belfast”, and the Marlborough Golf Club at Fairhall.
