🇳🇿 Christchurch | More Than Just a Pit Stop!

Often seen as just a transit hub, Christchurch surprised me this time with its autumn charm + quirky rebirth vibes. Here’s why you should stay longer: 🌟 Must-Do Highlights 🛒 Riverside Market Bluff oysters ($20/dozen) 🦪 (meh* freshness, but Bessie’s worth the splurge!)* Dimitris Greek: Massive portions, 6/10 taste—Instagram > flavor. 🎨 Arts Centre 3D "floating sky house" + post-quake exhibits 📸 Secret find: Vintage knife shop (bought a tiny dagger! 🔪) 🌳 Botanic Gardens Golden leaves + Avon River ducks 🦆 = pure zen (1hr loop). ⛪ Cardboard Cathedral Why’s it a "cathedral"? ♻️ Quake-proof paper-tube miracle (temporary but stunning!). #ChristchurchUnlocked #NZAutumn #SlowTravel 🍂
