Walking The Green Hills

On the road down to Queenstown from Christchurch is a hidden little gem of farmed rolling green hills backed by the Southern Alps. This area is known as Beautiful Valley, 15 minutes west of Geraldine. Here is where my Dad and extended family lived and still live.
We came down for a day trip from Christchurch, a 1.5 hour car ride in to the small town of Geraldine where we visited one of my dad's aunt's and the resting place of my grand parents.

We proceeded westwards to my aunt and uncles farm for some lunch and a catch up.
Anna and I took a trip up the top of the farms hill which opens up on the other side for some amazing and stunning views that I never get sick of. Seeing the views from the top of the hill in summer is equally as beautiful as it is in winter covered in snow.

We took a walk through the long grass along the top of the farm, blessed with an amazing sunny day. It was then back to Geraldine for a little bit and then a fish and chip run for dinner.
