Garden city

Day 21 Christchurch 

With the sun out we spent the day exploring the pretty Christchurch CBD, which has been rejuvenated and modernised after suffering from the effects of an earthquake back in 2011.  Melbourne's Southbank could take some tips from Christchurch's attractive riverside.

We visited the Quake Museum where we learnt more about the earthquake. Whilst we were aware of the earthquake when it happened, we had missed a lot of the news about it as on the day of the earthquake we had arrived in South Africa for the commencement of an eight month trip through Africa and Europe.

That afternoon M did more exploring of the Christchurch area, following the river out of the CBD and eventually ending up at the Mona Vale Garden Park.
