After leaving Nelson and swinging through Kaikoura, it was time to head to Christchurch (the biggest city on the south island - population over 300,000). As you can imagine by its name, it has a strong English influence. It was a great city and we enjoyed our time there looking at art and admiring the architecture. We were lucky with the weather and that always helps. The old university was turned into the greatest art center and the Canterbury Art Gallery was impressive and free! We all wished we could spend a bit more time there, but we have limited time left on the south island and much more to see. We have booked our flights to Fiji, so we are on a mad dash to see what we can in 3 weeks before we fly to Auckland to catch a flight to Fiji. We will stay in Fiji for 12 days and head home to the states soon after that.
