Christchurch

Our last full day in New Zealand we spent exploring Christchurch

180.28 Kb Christchurch Cathedral	203.99 Kb Water fountain at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens	190.87 Kb Begonia garden, Christchurch Botanic Gardens
108.18 Kb Rose, Christchurch Botanic Gardens. Looks a lot like my tricolor rose, but it's a much bigger bloom.	165.04 Kb Central Rose Garden, Christchurch Botanic Gardens	170.31 Kb Heather Gardens, Christchurch Botanic Gardens
86.45 Kb Maori sculpture (like a totem pole), Victoria Square, Christchurch. This tells the story of the separation of Mother Earth and Father Sky. I forget their Maori names, but Mother Earth is lying on her side at the bottom, and you can see Mount Cook just above her. One of her children is upside down above the mountain. Father sky is on the right side, facing forward, but he's not really visible.	186.89 Kb Avon River as it passes through Victoria Square, Christchurch. One can take a punt up and down this shallow but pretty river.	151.51 Kb One of the trams that circle a portion of Christchurch all day. We didn't actually ride this one.
114.05 Kb One of the trams we actually did ride around Christchurch. Unfortunately the other tram we rode, which I thought was a beautiful tram, all hand worked wood on the inside, was not running by the time I took pictures.
