Christchurch
was a massive city back in 2010, but in 2011 it was struck by a
massive earthquake, so although it's still a relatively large city in
NZ it is still recovering. There was so much construction work going
on around the city, and some buildings didn't even look like they had
been touched since the earthquake. We went for a bit of a walk, but
in all honesty there wasn't that much to see. We went to a shopping
area which had stores in containers which was pretty cool, and then
we went for a walk around the botanical gardens which were pretty,
but that was basically it.
The rest of
the afternoon we were sorting out how to get to and from our next
stop. The next stop was Kaikoura, which was on our top list to visit
as it is where you could do whale watching and dolphin swimming. The
issue was we had to be back in Christchurch the following day to
catch a flight which made things complicated if we were going to get
the kiwi experience bus. In the end we decided the next day we would
hire a car and drive ourselves to and from Kaikoura.
