A question about this place:

My wife and I are going to be coming to ChristChurch in early Feb, 2006. While I'd love any advice, I'm mainly curious if you would meet us for a beer or coffee? We're doing a round-the-world trip and interested in using 43places to meet locals.

Hey Lee—sounds like a great adventure! Unfortunately, I’m not livin’ there anymore.

If you’re lookin’ for a good drink in chch, have a Ginger Tom at the Dux de Lux. It’s magnificent. Heck, get a pitcher. You won’t regret it. :)

If you’re looking for something a little more upscale, the Gondola is pretty nice. It’ll take you up into the Port Hills, and there’s a restaurant up there with an incredible view and a great menu. If you go in the early afternoon, there are a bunch of trails you can hike in the hills to different view points.

... good times, for sure. Hope this helps!
