From Oamaru we travelled back to Christchurch via Timaru.
In 2011 an earthquake almost destoyed Christchurch. In 2016 we returned and were shown round the
town by Christopher Hickson. Many shops were now trading out of converted shipping containers.
The Cathedral was
still partially standing, but due to another earthquake that year and more damage it was decided to rebuild
it completely.
The Ice Cream cone was not damaged at all and survived all the earthquakes.
