This weekend we have been to the QE2 pool on the other side of Christchurch. New Zealand takes swimming pools seriously and this one is amazing! It has an in-pool playground complex with Greek statues and plastic starfish. It has a huge lazy river with whirlpools and a fake beach with real waves that crash on the shore. It's quite overwhelming actually. I couldn't really take it in when I first got there.
We are hoping to get our own pool in Rolleston but it has split the community. Half of us want it because we have to drive for half an hour each way to get the nearest one in the city. The other half don't want it because they don't want to pay the extra rates. The Council will make a decision soon.
