DAY 11: A Big Church and Flowers

From NZ - DAY 11

CHRISTCHURCH -- I arrived in a new city today. Not much to it really. It has a nice civic centre and a trolley car, as well as a really big old church.

I spent the afternoon walking about in the downtown and in a botanical gardens, which is generally just a large park. There was an impressive rose garden, which is where I took the picture above.

I also went to two museums. The art museum and a natural history type museum. They were both pretty nice and free.

The art museum had some nice works. Now that I have been to a couple of galleries I am starting to like a few New Zealand artists including Gordon Walters.

Tomorrow I am planning on checking out some penquin colonies in a community to the south of Christchurch. I am looking forward to it.
