December 9, 2010... In the land of Kiwis



We arrived Christchurch pretty late in the afternoon after a 36 hour journey. But, the beauty of this place just dazzled us so much that the fatigue of travel simply vanished as we entered. It was so pleasant, green and bright that for a second we just forgot the worst weather in Blacksburg (the night before we left, we touched -20 degrees C!)

We had a wonderful afternoon at the Cathedral, downtown of Christchurch. It was not so difficult to keep being jet lagged when there were so many things to do.. My brain simply started jumping around with joy to even allow me to try hand at a life-sized chess. :D





That evening we had a nice Indian dinner at "Little India", heard a Scottish band practice in a garden, and even saw a statue taking a shower!
