Christchurch

The first thing we noticed about Christchurch was how much like home it was: cold and soggy! (mind you, it is the middle of winter here!) On the upside it looked a bit like Cambridge-by-the-Sea, even to the extent of a bit Midsummer Common type park and central square in the middle.

We were offered the opportunity to have our room at the Heritage Hotel right in the centre of town upgraded to a suite - for £20... Hmmm, hard decision...

We didn;t spend a huge amount of time in Christchurch and it was very grey the entire time we were there. To be fair sure it's jolly nice when the sun shines, but like most of the Southland towns we passed through, there's not really a lot to it other than some shops and a few "quaint" municipal buildings.
