🇳🇿 Christchurch | A City Painted in Dopamine Hues of Hope & Rebirth

🌈 Why Christchurch Dazzles • Color-splashed trams 🚃 weaving through streets like moving rainbows. • New Regent St.: My happy place – sipping coffee under Spanish-style arches ☀️. • Cardboard Cathedral: Stained glass windows that "turn sunlight into confetti" 🎨. 💔 The 2011 Earthquake & Its Legacy • 185 lives lost – The historic cathedral’s ruins still stand downtown, a silent memorial. • But from rubble rose resilience: The paper-tube cathedral became a "beacon of faith and innovation". DF Souvenirs (99 Cashel St): "Cheapest in NZ!" – but limited selection. For quirky finds: Remarkable Gifts (Queenstown). 🚗 Day Trip Potential Akaroa (1hr drive): French vibes + alpaca farms! "Wish we had time!" #ChristchurchVibes #ArtHeals #NZTravel
