We decided it would be quirky to go punting in Christchurch along the River Avon. You can only go out with a professional punter and ours was called Joshua, the punt was called Mary! Josh was dressed in an Edwardian suit with a straw hat and punted very well - we complimented him on his skills!
The river was wider, more shallow, cleaner (spring water), and emptier - there was only us on the river!
The cushions were red velvet and it was a very pleasant experience - very relaxing!
it cost 25$ but it was worth it for the experience!
We'll add some photos soon!
Joshua told us that recently they had taken a bridal party along the river in the punt and the Mother of the Bride fell in while she was getting out! The punters were trying not to laugh as the lady was really upset! :-)
