New Zealand in review - Day 2 - Christchurch

The credit for our sightseeing today goes to Aunty Leanne and Uncle Steve who visited Christchurch last year and gave us a list of what to see that was child-friendly. As always, they were so right!

We started the day with a wander through the beautiful Botanical Gardens. What we thought would be an hour or so turned into a 2-1/2 hr meander which was delightful...other than Georgia's tantrums because she wanted to push Ethan's stroller and he was just as determined she wouldn't push him.

We saw the beautiful Avon, the lovely Gardens and found the terrific playground. We also had a quick wander through the lovely Canterbury Museum.




After lunch time snoozes all round, we headed off to the Gondola. We saw snow capped mountains in the distance and Ethan would have been happy to sit in the playroom at the top all afternoon.

Lovely Lyttleton was spread out below us and after heading back down in the Gondola, we had THE MOST AMAZING fish 'n' chips there from Lyttleton Fisheries. Luke is not a chip man but he LOVED their chips. That says a lot!
