Day21 - Christchurch
Spent nearly a whole day travelling to Christchurch. Ended up spending two days here and such a shame that the earthquake has still left the town in such a mess still.
Today was 2 years since the first earthquake hit but no damaged occurred, that happened in Feb the next year.
Spent a day around Christchurch and is so sad to see the devastation still, everything is closed off and building are being knocked down as they are at a safety risk.
But there are some beautiful buildings that are being knocked down. If you look beyond the damage you can truly see a really beautiful town, i could imagine it being a right hustle and bustle type of town before the earthquake, I really hope it gets back on its feet and that more people start visiting as it really needs tourists.
The first night I got there went and met up with Ciaran that I had travelled with back in Cambodia. Was great seeing him, we ended up in the bar restaurant place called cargo as it was built out of those cargo boxes, literally. All of a sudden the sky turned black and a storm brood, it began with lightning and thunder and then these huge hailstones came out of nowhere and started coming through the roof, a few hit me, whilst being inside….so bizarre.
