Deciding to spend a weekend in the cold is already pretty brave but being punished with rain for the entire time is rather depressing. So, what is there to do in Christchurch for days like these. Eating and drinking sounds like a great idea at firstbut surly there must be more to do than this.
There wasn't a great deal of indoor activities which interested us. We visited Christchurch's Museum, Art Gallery and Botanic Gardens with a wonderful display on insect eating plants and bonsai trees. We also gathered information about expeditions on the South Pole in the Antarctic Centre including being part of "Half Pints" release out of quarantine. He joint the "special group", blue penguins with disabilities.
On Sunday Lou drove us out of Christchurch while we experienced a 
dry patch. We visited Littleton's Timeball Station, walked along the beach at Sumner and ended up with a non starting vehicle. Phil crawled around and under the car for about 30 minutes and of course he fixed it as usual.

One last place I would like to mention. The Dyslexia Discovery outdoor exhibit. It displays various bronze sculptures for brilliant photo opportunities. I was not passioned enough to get soaked therefore here are two photos I found of Richard Tylers "Inner Struggle" which I think are amazing shots.
