NZ: New Zealand's response - and the rest of our day in Christchurch
At the main park in Christchurch - this is the outpouring response of the citizens of Christchurch and all New Zealand citizens to the senseless loss of life here a week or so ago. This 'memorial' to those who were killed was so impactful, it was impossible to not have tears. The flowers and messages went on for several long blocks.
NZ: Nelson to Christchurch - from rain to shine (at least for now)
Killing time before our flight to Christchurch from Nelson we made our way to the WOW Museum of Wearable Art. Each year in Auckland designers from all over the world model their creations made of all kinds of ingenious materials in a fashion show. The museum had video of last year's show playing on large screens that was totally mesmerizing. Not only were the fashions amazing, but the models moved to music and even danced in these costumes. Each year the winners and video from the previous year go to Nelson so we were able to see how fantastic that show must be. We would have missed this exhibit if it hadn't been raining soooo- no worries, good-on-you-mate!
