A sunny Saturday in Christchurch

Saturday was absolutely beautiful - blue skies and sunshine, so warm that I was out in just a t-shirt and jeans. This was good news for all the rugby fans milling around town waiting for the game on Saturday night (some sort of final, no idea what it's the final of but it seems to be a big deal to those concerned), and nice for the rest of us too of course. There was lots of red and black to be seen in town as people showed their support for the local team, the Crusaders.

The trams were flying Crusaders flags.



Playing giant chess in Cathedral Square.



The Cathedral itself.



The Saturday market in the square.


Gratuitous shot of a cabbage tree that I spotted highlighted against the sky as I walked.


One of my favourite dinner spots, The Bog.


This area is called the Strip. It is a long row of restaurants, with a view of the river.
