We arrived at Christchurch this morning and after breakfast Whitney and I boarded the bus to take us to Cathedral Square. This past Sept, Christchurch was hit by a 7.2 earthquake and there was a fare amount of damage still evident. The Anglican Cathedral itself had a chain link fence along it's front but the interior was available to enter through a side entrance. Once inside, we met one of the female Priest who was from New England. She
immigrated to New Zealand ten years ago and is very happy to be here. This city, inspite of the occasional damaged areas is one of the most beautiful places we've been to. The electric trolley cars that operate here was a special treat that took me back to my childhood. Four pm was the
Last bus back to the ship and it came much too fast.
