Christchurch - NZ's 2nd Largest City

I know I had never heard of it before planning this vacation and I was still doubtful when our tour guide told us it was NZ's 2nd largest city. I found out later they filmed the Narnia movie there. Our first night we attended a Maori feast at a Kiwi Preservation center. We got to see the famous Kiwi, but no flash photography allowed.
