Christchurch; Monday, Nov. 20.
After the train journey and booking into our hotel we took a stroll down to downtown Christchurch through Hagley Park, a very large park right in the middle of the city with beautiful tree lined walks.
and a very picturesque weeping willow.
In Cathedral Square there was the Cathedral which gives the city its name
and a strange looking artifactr resembling a vase.
A most upscale Starbucks,
even the building of the local newspaper had class.
We had a very good dinner in the "Historic Wallace Hotel". Later a taxi driver told us that it had a very strong Irish tradition going way back. Then we read in the newspaper the next day that it was about to become a Novatel. Pity!
