Christchurch

Some time after the last serious earthquake, still lots of evidence of its severity - 70% or more of the central area gone, mostly the Edwardian and Victorian buildings which had not been strengthened.  The plethora of shipping containers are used in some stylish and original ways; and some less so...
Christchurch tram driver and guide was a great ambassador for the city, which is a charming and civilized place, but essentially a smallish rural-ish town that happens to find itself somewhere where that's a big deal.

Up the Gondola chairlift for some spectacular views...
