Day 17 Kaikoura to Christchurch

An amazing sunrise at Kaikoura …

was followed by a leisurely 2-hour drive to Christchurch that took me 4 hours. The scenery, the seals, the birds, the cliffs, the single lane bridges on the main highways, and the interminable bends are all the same but still compelling.

Christchurch hasn’t changed a lot. Although the Cathedral has some competition in Cathedral Square.

The big vase is officially called “The Chalice”, and was a Millenium Project.

And there is still punting (straw boaters and all) on the River Avon
