Today, our last full day in NZ, we have spent a low key day turning in our car and doing a little sight seeing here in Christchurch, the third largest city in NZ and the largest city on the South Island (population somewhere between 3 and 400,000). This city is beautiful and is known for its gothic architecture and English feel. First, we went to the Arts Centre, which was built in 1877 as the Canterbury College / University of Canterbury and now is an area of art galleries, craft markets, cafes and other things. Then we headed across the street to the Canterbury Museum and went through their impressive
Antartica display. Last we went to Cathedral square, which is in the heart of the city and over which looms the towering Christchurch Cathedral (constructed 1864- 1904). Tonight we are meeting Ronan's brother, Colm for a drink. Alan spoke with him on the phone last night to make arrangements and said that from his voice, there was no denying that he was Poker O'Carra's brother.

Kelly, You look good on the bike, but I wonder if it rides as good as the "Yellow Bike" in Lexington!!
Shelley
Definitely the yellow bikes. Alan and I kept wondering how in the heck you would get off this bike after your ride. I mean you're a full two feet off the ground so I guess you would just kind of fall off when you were ready. -- Kelly
