Christchurch from the hills

A picture of Christchurch from the top of the hills (click to enlarge). Often I go for a walk on the Port Hills and this time I took my camera. It was a warm day. We've had the warmest summer since we are here. With many days up to 30 degrees. Although it is a bit hazy you can see in the back still the Alpines which is about an hour drive from Christchurch.
In the middle you see the city centre. In one of these flat building resides Unlimited the school of my children. This week they started back at school. Yesterday they had a Powhiri, a traditional Maori welcome. The word Po means a venture into the "unknown" or a new experience, while Whiri comes from the term Whiriwhiri meaning the act or experience of exchanging information and knowledge. Today is their first official schoolday and they follow classes which they have have choosen themselves. So each child has an individual roster.
From the hill you can't see our place that would be somewhere outside the left down corner. I have to tidy up that place because my daughter is bringing home a bunch of friends to stay the night. Tomorrow is Waitangi day, a national holiday. I will tell you more about it later.
