17th March Monday
Sun was shinning again today so we
drove into town parked up and did a tour of the sites in Christchurch
center, but a lot has been demolished by the earthquake. We managed
to see enough in about 3 hours. We walked round a route from the
lonely planet guide then found a nice cafe on the river Avon where
you could hire a punt down the river. We resisted the temptation and
just had a coffee. We walked around some gardens which were beautiful
and part of them went along the river where we passed a punt on which
someone was playing a guitar and singing. We ended up at the new
cathedral made of cardboard because the old one was badly damaged by
the earthquake and it was really good. We went back to Tiny and found
a campsite for the night at Spencer Beach Holiday Park as the name
suggests it was close to the beach so we had a walk there and it was
what is said on the tin a beach nothing else. We went back to Tiny
and took food and phone to the kitchen to cook and charge
respectively. After dinner we went back to Tiny to play cards. After
the first game I remembered that I had left the mobile phone charging
in the kitchen, so I sprinted over there and luckily it was still
there phew it would have been a disaster had it been stolen as we had
taken over 400 pictures of the holiday. Played a couple more games of
cards then slept the last night in Tiny as we had to take her back
the next day.
