Finally made it to NZ

This trip was first planned, and booked, pre-Covid and at last Yvonne and I are here. We have had a very pleasing couple of days in Christchurch with one more to come before we head off on the bike trip.  On a beautiful sunny Sunday we took  a bus trip to Akoroa, a harbourside town settled by both French and English in adjoining sections. 

En route to Akoroa

Monday was spent on a walking tour of the City, a very informative walk led by Milton, a volunteer local, followed by a trip to the Museum and the Art Gallery.  So much is still being repaired and restored after the earthquake 12 years ago but the City is certainly common back to life. The dance floor is a "gap filler" where a building was demolished and was installed as an antidote to stress and anxiety
