A day in Christchurch

 Day 2 - 22 Feb

A perfectly UN-structured day. We wandered and explored doing approx. 8 kms in the process. 


Our late arrival last night (this morning?) was tempered by a sleep-in today plus a yummy breakfast at the excellent Table at Monk’s.




The park and street plantings are a delight; as is the architecture. I have to say: full credit to the Kiwis. Progress may have been slow but I admire the positivity moving forward post the 2011 earthquake.

Even a touch of Hunterwasser?
