In Christchurch i stayed with 4 guys (Sam, Alex, Logan and James) + Doug the cat, who were studying at the university in the city. It was rather entertaining to be back i a student house and it reminded me of good old Bristol times. Christchurch was a nice small city to wander around in with really great little shops and cute cafes (its all about the cafe culture don't you know!) I also paid a visit to the Christchurch Art Gallery which had some nice exhibitions in place. I also explored the Arts Centre which is set in the colleges of the old Canterbury University. It has been turned into a creative hub with loads of studios and galleries for painters, sculptors, weavers and other crafty techniques. The botanical gardens also provided a nice environment for an afternoon stroll in the sunshine. My l
ast night was spent celebrating Logan's birthday which was great fun as Alex made an epic chocolate cake complete with chocolatey decorations, amazing. I was also treated to homemade spirits which the boys make themselves, lots of different flavoured vodkas, gins, rums etc. These so called 'surprise shots' made for a slightly dodge journey in the early hours of the morning to return the rental car before my 6am flight to Melbourne. Luckily though, i just made it and had a very much needed sleep on the
plan across the water to Asutralia.Hooray!
