Made our way across the island to Christchurch where we had a “holiday park” site (aka KOA) to stay in - the accommodations were good, but a family stayed up way too late in the kitchen near us and the location was near a busy road, so not great sleep that night :-(.
Touring the city was a bit disappointing, partly since it was a like any city and partly due to the last earthquake that happened here which has caused massive rebuilding to be needed in the city center.
We did find the trolley through town, got a good pic of one of the prettier streets and walked by the cathedral that was severely damaged in quake. We also saw the mosque where the recent shooting took place (no pic) - lots of tributes left there for the victims...so sad.
At night we went to the New Brighton Pier that night and did some grocery shopping at the Countdown nearby.
