At Jess and Steve's in Christchurch

We went down in the holidays to have a few days with Jess and Steve:-) We had fun having a look around Christchurch
We went into the container city for a look around. They'd just opened some more of the city up, there were lots of bulldozers and diggers knocking down buildings and removing the rubble!



We went for a bike ride around the city and thru the beautiful Hagley Park

The broken Cathedral

I was interested to see Latimer Square where everyone congregated and the rescue operation happened from 


Some of the damaged buildings that haven't been removed yet

You could still see the chairs in place at the theatre
On the rd out to Sumner

Steve was out surfing at this beautiful beach north of Chch


Lew fulfilled a boyhood dream! When he was 17, he wanted to buy a Waterbus but his ma and pa didn't want him too thankfully! Anyway he found one for sale 39 yrs later. When we were down at Jess's, he went and picked it up! 

We went out to Lyttleton to have a look at the Saturday Market





We had a drive around the area


Sumner Beach

Giving Jess a ride

We went out to See Caroline and Michael and had a lovely Sunday Lunch:-)
