We drove south to Christchurch. An earthquake in February 2011 devastated the centre. A shopping centre constructed from containers was placed where part of the old shopping centre had collapsed. The cathedral was also destroyed. After lunch we continued our drive to the Banks Peninsula formed from the remains of three volcanic eruptions. Our B&B is in Akaroa. The town was initially colonised by the French. The photo shows the view from our room. We had wine with our hosts Carol and Bruce before heading out for yet another superb meal in the local Bistro.
