Christchurch-Timaru; Thursday, November 16.
We got going about 10 am. It was a beautiful day and we stopped for brunch in a nice little café just outside the city. Our first stop after that was Timaru, a beautiful town on Caroline Bay.
We visited the Sacred Heart Cathedral
and then took in the Botanical Gardens (which you can drive around, gates open, no admission charge). This was a rare treat as they had a garden of over 200 species roses, the original wild ones, from all over the world and they were in bloom!! Many of these are not hardy in Canada and most only bloom once, in Spring.
