Final Days - Christchurch

I think its fair to say that my impression of Christchurch after four days is much more favourable than it was after the first half a day.  We drove from Dunedin on Monday morning, and got into Christchurch during late afternoon that day.  On Tuesday morning we strolled into the centre of the city and had a wander through New Regent Street and Cathedral Square which did not show the city at its best.  Anyway, over that and following days we went to The Church (a pub), Canterbury College, the Botanical Gardens, the Christchurch Goldola, Akoroa and Lyttleton, and I have become quite enamoured with the region.

So, after a VERY early start to Friday, we are back in Australia and enjoying a weekend of rest in Ballarat before heading home on Sunday.  Our Aotearoa Adventure has been a marvellous experience, particularly the 4 day bike ride arranged for us by www.bikeitnow.co.nz.  Here are a few pictures from our days in Christchurch.

​See you at home!
