Christchurch Overview

---

On Saturday, we had our first snow in Christchurch and on Sunday, we took the Gondola up into the Port Hills for some views South over Lyttelton harbour and North over the Canterbury Plains to the mountains...here's a few pictures of where we live...Christchurch is the big flat thing in the middle
