    This city is like a bit of Ole England 
and is dotted with neo-Gothic stone buildings and flowers in bloom. A stroll by 
the Victorian and Edwardian colonial villas reveals verandas laden with scented 
wisteria, jasmine, and roses. You can picnic along the banks of the River Avon, 
or capture a thrilling bird's eye view of the city by way of the Christchurch 
Gondola.  |
