Christchurch is a really nice city and feels very English with its central cathedral square and gothic buildings, it even has punting on the River Avon which runs through the city. I've packed quite a lot in the 2 very sunny days here, having been to the gardens, museum and a trip to the cinema. I spent the day walking in the nearby harbour town of Lyttelton. Lyttelton was the location of European settlers before Christchurch and it's now a pretty busy port with lots of cargo ships loading and unloading and there was a huge cruise ship in. The harbour is actually a collapsed volcanic crater so is boarded by mega hills. I climbed on of them to get a view of Christchurch over the other side, huge beaches and the alps in the back ground. Next I'm headed up the coast to Kaikoura which is wildlife central in New Zealand.
