Title: Christchurch
Broadcast: Oct 30 2016
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island; full of historical and contemporary architecture, including good food and wine. Trevor Cochrane shows us some of the fantastic features of Christchurch.
This beautiful city is just 3 hours flight from the Australian east coast, and a great city to set up base and explore the surrounding sites in South Island.
Its street art scene, its food scene, its wine scene – it’s all happening here and you need to come and visit Christchurch.

• The old Christchurch tram ride is the perfect way to see the city in just 17 stops. All cars have been beautifully restored, to take you on a 52-minute round trip. www.welcomeabroad.co.nz
• C1 Espresso is the perfect way to get your day started with fabulous food and coffee in a retro setting. www.c1espresso.co.nz
• Roots has some great Pinot from Black Estate and Pegasus Wineries, and to accompany the scrumptious food they serve in the restaurant. This restaurant is located in Lyttleton, just 15 minutes drive from Christchurch, and is a definite must for dinner or lunch.  www.rootsrestaurant.co.nz
