Landmark Christchurch

Market in city centre

We arrived on Christmas eve. Our hosts warned us that there would be nothing opened on Christmas day and as she would be out we would have to shop for our dinner. Believe it or not there was absolutely nothing opened but we did enjoy our home cooked dinner but we missed our family back home tremendously.
