Christchurch

Christchurch is lovely. It is a mini, old style England. I spent a very enjoyable, but very short time here - not even a full day. I wandered through the lovely botanical garden in the center of the town and strolled along the Thames. No joke, that is the name of the river - or really, given its small size, the brook or stream - that flows through the center of the town. I saw many young boys in broadly striped jackets and caps on their way to play cricket. It is just lovely.
