Christchurch is vibrant and charming. It’s a city intransition, and one that in recent years has been rebuilding and overcoming grief in the aftermath of one of New Zealand’s worst ever disasters.
Despite such devastating events, the city has bounced back with a renewed vigour, vitality and creative energy.
