some random photos of christchurch. again, sorry for the sideways photo. when we arrived, we went to check in at our hotel. they informed us that they were overbooked, and either had a double bed for us at a lower rate, or a king bed at a different hotel at the same rate. we looked at the double bed room, and found it incredibly claustrophobic (it was one of those pod hotels), and so opted for the different hotel. upon checking in there & moving into the room, it was a smelly smoking room, so we had to request to be changed. unfortunately, a big horserace week was going on, and the only room available was one with three twin beds. we took it. this hotel was a normal one, and probably nicer than the other one. we basically relaxed the day and a half we had there, sleeping, reading, & watching tv, besides returning the rental car. i could not wait to get home to my house & my own bed!

What an interesting sculpture--did it have any particular significance? It looks like a giant vase or ice cream cone, depending on how hungry you are...

no idea whatsoever what its significance was. we were so tired by that point of "seeing" things... never bothered to find out. i think it pays homage to the wonders of the waffle cone... let's leave it at that!
