Very sad to see this temporary coma of a city

A travel blog entry by bettytarle

Had a walk around the red zone to find it surrounded by high fences and there were guards even posted at one gate. Power has been cut to most buildings but some traffic signals eerily blink yellow. There is no life at all in this section of the city and actually only found activity along the park and Bealey Avenue. I think the city council is …

The journey up to Christchurch was quite long and I was pretty tired after, it was about 7hours. I arrive at about 3pm and found a hostel called 'foely towers' it was nice and clean and friendly and cheap too. I went for a walk along the river Avon (sound familiar) and then walked into town, there was an old tram hurtling through the streets, the …

Into Christchurch

A travel blog entry by christoff

Left Wellington for Christchurch really happy to be leaving Wellington but not to ecstatic about heading into another city as I feel as though I have had more than enough of them in the last couple of months looking forward to getting a car and hitting the heart of NZ. Said farewell to Margaret and thanked her for everything, top women and I'm ever …

Arrived here at 11:30 at night and made my way to the hostel. The Foley Towers was recommended to me by Igal and I was really pleased I listened to his advice. This place is simple but very cosy and welcoming. The staff here make you feel like you are visiting family! I have not seen much at all of Christchurch, while I have been staying here I …

I arrived in Christchurch after a three hour flight, Christina met me at the airport & we travelled back to the hostel she was staying at. I loved Christchurch immediately! The plane flew in over the snow capped mountains, which stretched out into open grassy fields. It was beautiful! It was much colder there than Australia had been & I …

    Stayed at Foley Towers in april 2012 for 1 week, and it was awesome!
    Clean, fresh and comfy double bed room with bathroom. The second kitchen with lounge and tv area was very cosy and nice. The cute garden is a great place to relax in. Healpful and friendly staff members really made my stay at Foley Towers. (Another big plus is that its not far away from the best pub in Christchurch, Pomeroy's.)
    Thanks so much, Martina - Sweden.

    Hard to get a reservation in Chrsitchurch

    Let this be a reminder for the tome being you must make your reservations for accommodations in Christchurch well in advance as I had to call many before aI could get a room here. I found the hostel convenient, right across the street from the "red zone". The home was secure, the bedding was so new and comfortable, the carpeting and bathrooms look very newly appointed as well. Two homes sitting side by side make us this hostel and I enjoyed my brief stay here. The staff was very gracious.
