In Christchurch we had just a few hours in the morning before our flight back to Auckland. After a quick and a bit depressing stroll in the damaged city centre we visited the "Cardboard Cathedral". The original Cathedral in Christchurch was badly damaged during the earthquake in 2011, so they built the Transitional Cathedral as a temporary place of worship. It is made pretty much just from cardboard and I found it really beautiful and peaceful.
Then my boyfriend's love for animals of all kinds got us to the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. It wasn't the part of my plan, but we saw their leaflet at the hostel a day before and it looked interesting, so we gave it a shot. After we came back home, Marek told me it was probably the best experience of the whole trip for him. Though for me it wasn't number one for sure, I enjoyed a walk around tamed eals, cheeky Keas or my favourite animal small pig Kune Kune.
