Photos 1-6 are about tourist activities in Christchurch.
The top ones are on the River Avon - kayaking and punting. Both are reasonable prices.
Go for a walk beside the River Avon. The native Kowhai is also full of yellow flowers at this time of year (behind the blue kayak) on the river banks and there are (Japanese) cherry trees blossoming. There are daffodil sculptures in the daffodils in the park to see as well as baby ducklings.
The tram is great value and you can get on and off all day for the same price.
There is a tram every 15 minutes or so. On Sunday it takes you to the market in the Arts Centre.
You can buy great souvenirs here, eat and listen to buskers (street musicians).
