Hmmm, take tram to airport? Nah, it don't go there, & hire car needs returning at the terminal, anyway.
This is Chch's Eat Street - restaurants, takeaways, dessert, & ice cream shops everywhere.

Chch is an arty place. We took in some of many murals decorating sites of quake-destroyed buildings on a walk to the Art Gallery. I loved the curvy bridge within - a critic said it should be straightened, so staff indicated a straight course across!
