Christchurch

posted 2nd April, 2009 category New Zealand

Yesterday Bhav, Pierre-Em and I drove to Christchurch and back (722km/449 miles or Perth to London!) so that they could go to a couple of meetings. Not being involved in their business, I used the opportunity to see more of the countryside and visit Christchurch. It was a long day with us leaving at 6 and getting back around 8 but was well worth it.

While they were off doing important things I saw the sights of Christchurch including; the Cathedral, the trams, botanical gardens, river Avon, old university college and museum. If Dunedin is Scotland, Christchurch is England. It’s difficult to say why but you can’t help but feel it. It seems that a lot of people hate Christchurch but I quite like it. Unfortunetely it does seem to be where a lot of IT happens, so it might have been better to move there but I’m happy in Dunedin.

We might have only had a short visit but I can now tick Christchurch off my list of places to see.
