More pictures from Christchurch

This street of shops will be the first to reopen after the quake in its entirety. Hopefully by the time we return towards the end of March. The remains of the rugby stadium. It was renovated for the 2011 rugby world cup but unfortunately never saw a ball kicked there. Construction of the new but temporary Anglican Cathedral. These reinforced cardboard tubes have a life expectancy of 50 years if well maintained. Time to chill out and let someone else do the work. We took a punt trip on the river Avon which winds through the city. City tour on an old London bus. Stopped off at the seaside town of Sumner bay. This is what you could say is living on the edge. The two of us at the look out over the city. The following shot is from the look out over the "Canterbury Plains.
