You can tell Caroline and my priorities easily, our first day in Christchurch and our first around open shops for a while – she’s off to get her hair cut, and I’m off to find a phone.
We did also manage to visit some of the sights though, and ventured up the cathedral tower for a view over the city, watched the chess game and listened to the buskers in the square and then got all arty with a trip around the art gallery. We haven’t gone all upmarket in our touring, it’s just that the only map we had was in the Cultural Christchurch guide!
