Christchurch Day 1.....

Look at that view, coming in over the mountains...
Snow covered mountains on our decent into Christchurch Airport...



The USA Antartic program stationed in Christchurch Airport...

Devastation in the centre of the city, it was like a ghost town, so  very quiet...

This building was supported but it looked like a bomb had gone off...

This was probably the worst looking, a picture theatre with all the seats & the beautiful windows still there...

The back of the above...

Very sad, there are 185 white chairs each one for someone that was killed in the earthquake...There was a church on the site where the chairs now stand...Below is a story about the chairs & a photo of the church....A few tears were shed after standing here & reading what all of this symbolized...


Probably the most photographed Church in Christchurch...Now for all the wrong reasons...

Last time we were here we went into this Church now you can't get anywhere near it...It is so dangerous there are wire fences around the whole city...
