Christchurch

Christchurch

Last time I was in Christchurch I remained in the port city of Lyttleton for my hiking excursion, so I figured I should go see the actual city this time around, and that’s what I did. After hoping on a bus and making the trip into the city, I looked around for a bit and my first stop was at a large chessboard with 3-foot-tall pieces where too guys were playing. I watched that for 20 minutes or so, or at least till I figured out I was standing in New Zealand watching two people I didn’t know play chess. I moved on.
I walked for a while around the city, simply traveling in which ever direction seemed interesting at the time. I went in a few shops, grabbed a cappuccino, and eventually made it back to the bus to be taken back to the ship. I don’t know that there’s really that much more to tell you about as I didn’t really do anything but meander through the city. It was a beautiful city, slightly cold, and had a lovely river running through it, but that’s about all I got for you…
I returned to the ship, played a show for a humorous impressionist, and that’s about it. Thanks!
