and Christchurch Gondola.

On way back we visited the beachside towns of New Brighton and Lyttleton. Both towns were also badly affected by the 2011 earthquake.

Later….A drink and live entertainment at the Astro Bar…Steve was in his element!  A bar decorated with space and alien memorabilia. ..and the guitarist playing all the right songs
