Saturday 21 October 2006 - Christchurch City
Early bus into Christchurch City starting at Cathedral Square (Christchurch's focal point!). Saw the Cathedral, the Chalice and the market.
Went on City Walk number 1, Ellie playing tour guide!! Who needs to pay $10! Walked on Cambridge Terrace alongside River Avon. At the boatshed we even managed to get a mini punt ride for free! (just to get a photo!) Saw the sights of the Art Gallery, University of Canterbury and the Botanic Gardens before settling in Hagley Park for lunch.
An afternoon of shopping, Ellie making it to Victoria Square (once the commercial heart of Christchurch known as Market Square!) and then Chinese for tea.
Back to Halswell in time for the rugby, the final of the Air New Zealand Cup between Wellington and Waikato. Pat and Alan spent the games explaining the rules and the point system to the rest of us! Waikato won which pleased Alan as it was Wellington that knocked his team (Canterbury) out the previous round.
