Relax and easy ride to the city of Christchurch on a cloudy weather and flat terrain. But was rather disappointed seems that the city is still not fully recovered from the previous earthquake which rocked the city.lots of empty lands turned into temporary parking,and houses were abandoned,guess many have moved out from the city after the quake. To me,it looks like a ghost city,and is scary when I am walking out from Vagabond Backpackers for 20 minutes walk to Countdown Supermarket. Bought a new 20" tyres to replace the supposed to be good Schwalbe brand.

Arrived Christchurch and still going strong
