Christchurch

We are currently hanging around Christchurch for a few days to take in the sights. We've been to the cathedral downtown, to a yarn store to pick up some more NZ wool, and we booked a surf lesson off New Brighton beach for Friday morning. Tonight there is a fireworks display near where we're camping. We also bought tickets to see the NZ rugby finals, which are being played between Christchurch's provincial team, Canterbury, and Wellington on Saturday night. Should be a fun couple of days. Now, some random photos:

A little dark, but you can see our 92 Toyota Camry on the left of our campsite at the Kai Iwi Lakes on the N. Island.Jason coloring in the children's corner while Meg picks out yarn.

  1. The children's corner... that's where I'd be, too. =)

    I hope the rugby match is fun. But is it rugby league or rugby union?

    It's been great to read your updates. Keep them coming!

  2. We're going to what is the Air New Zealand Cup final, which is rugby union. Although, we don't really know the difference between union and league.
