Default Helicopter flight over Christchurch and the port

We were given a voucher for a heli ride as a wedding pressie, and we eventually used it last weekend. The pilot took us over the port and Christchurch. The pictures speak for themselves.

Us, before we got in



The port then the city




Notice the crack to the left of the blue building





On to the city

Wow - what an experience. Did ChCh look worse than you thought or was it what you were expecting?

Fab wedding pressie!

I was a bit surprised by Sumner but ChCh was as I expected from the TV I guess.

Hallo lovelies. Thanks so much for sharing this with us all. I know there are pics on the TV and newspapers and stuff but it brings it home more to see it for 'real' as such.
