Day 76 - a day-trip to Christchurch

We were last here in 2002 and we all know what's happened since then. 

Some things look just the same and you'd think that you were still in Oxbridge-on-Zealand of old

Spot the interloper...

but others sadly very different

The Christchurch Museum ...

is diverse - from Maori meeting-hall doors (check out those paua eyes again)

to recreated 18th century ChCh streets, complete with pennyfarthing, 

to "Antarctica" (though Scott got a much bigger write-up than Amundsen!). And, best of all, someone in the exhibitions dept is in a festive mood...
