Christchurch Earthquake 9 years on

This morning we went back to Quake City Museum because we didn't have time to see the last part of it yesterday. While we were in the museum a man from the Earthquake film in the museum walked past. He was the guy who's wife died during the Earthquake. A guy who was working at the museum said he is happily now remarried.

After this we went to see the Cathedral. It was sad to see the damage from the earthquake and surprising it still hasn't been repaired 9 years later. After this we walked past lots of abandoned and damaged buildings surrounded by new buildings. The picture with the flooding used to be a large car park that fell down. We also went to see the Cathedral of best Sacrament. You could see where some of the building fell down and many shattered windows.

We then went to visit the 185 empty chairs memorial Park. The memorial is to all 185 people that died during the earthquake. We were able to pay respect to those who lost their lives during the earthquake.

For lunch we went out for Thai at The Nook Eatery on Regent Street . I had Pad Thai. It was delicious. In the video we saw a tram go past while we were in the restaurant.

Next we drove to Summit road carpark in the hope to see a nice view over Christchurch Unfortunately it was raining but some clouds drifted away so we were able to see the city and the sea.

In the evening we had a fun night out in Christchurch. We first went to the Rock pool bar to play pool and have some drinks. We went to a few other bars for a dance. Czytaj więcej
