Meg, hard at work in Christchurch's Botantic Gardens.

We have arrived! That's right no more countdowns. You can all breathe a sigh of relief! :) Day 1 Afternoon 1 - Christchurch We are staying at the Novotel, which is right next to the Cathedral in Cathedral Square. Slightly more up market than the F1, and hopefully no fire alarms at 1am again (fingers n toes). Not seen much yet just bits of the town. Having tunch (tea and lunch) while we use the interwebs and plan our Christchurch stay. Hope everyone's well.
