Sunday, February 17th 

After finding a crucial breakfast spot called Mako Cafe and it’s Big Breakfast special, we spent some time hanging out around Town Centre and the Christchurch Cathedral at the Art Market.  They have a giant chess board in the middle of the square with giant chess pieces (about 3-4 feet high).  We enjoyed the weather for a while and just watched a few older men have a battle royal of the wits. 

Afterward, Shawn and I caught a bus to Sumner.  Sumner is a coastal village suburb of Christchurch, about 20 minutes away.  Lucky for us, today was an incredibly georgous day.  We spent the afternoon hanging out on the beach, got a little crispy, and ate lunch at a restaurant overlooking the surf called Poseidon. 

Great weather, great food, and relaxation; it’s what the Kiwi’s would call ’sweet as.’

Too easy,

Scott
