Christchurch Feb 10 to 12,2010

The drive from Dunedin to Christchurch is interesting since the road follows the coast line. Our hotel in Christchurch was the Charlotte Jane a luxury Bread and Breakfast. After the long drive we decided to have dinner at the adjoining restaurant. The meal was excellent such that we decided to have dinner there the following night.

Again we had our walking shoes on, trekking into the downtown. The rain seemed to have been chasing us the past couple of days and finally caught up to us in Christchurch. This did not take away from our touring. One interesting way is to take the old fashion streetcar that enables one to jump-on-and-off at all the interesting places.

New Zealanders are as crazy about their rugby as Canadians are about hockey. This is a clock counting down to the Worls Rugy tournament to be held in New Zealand
