🇳🇿 Christchurch | Where I Collapse from Beauty 🌸

Welcome to my "spring flâneur" diary—Christchurch is best absorbed horizontally (preferably on grass, under blossoms). As the "Garden Gateway to the South Island", it packs museums, markets, and botanical bliss into one perfect day. 🌿 Nature-Lover’s Itinerary Morning: ⛪ Cardboard Cathedral → 🖼️ Art Gallery (culture + killer photos) → 🍴 Riverside Market (Melbourne QV vibes!). Afternoon: 🏠 Arts Centre (floating house illusion!) → 🌳 Botanic Gardens (golden-hour punting on the Avon River 🚣) → 🌊 Sumner Beach (*20-min drive to cinematic shores*). 🎡 Activities & Deals 🚣 Avon Punting: $39 (vs $42) 🚋 Heritage Tram: $38 (vs $46) 🎈 Hot Air Balloon: $390 (splurge-worthy!) 🦙 Akaroa Alpacas: $54 (so fluffy!) 🐬 Swim with Dolphins: $112 (magical!) #ChristchurchVibes #GardenCity #NZSpring 🌼📸
