Oamaru

We stopped at this unique harbour town on the way back to Christchurch.  It has masses of impressive Victorian and Edwardian architecture built in creamy local limestone.  There are lots of art and crafty type stores and a lot of people dressing up in historical costumes.  


Oamaru is a harbour town on the Pacific Ocean.


Bikes are everywhere.

After visiting Oamaru we went on for another night in Christchurch and flew home the next day.
