Back home

I'm back home after my trips to Melbourne and NZ. My worst-case scenario of not being able to see Supernatural until I got home* didn't come to pass, since I was able to get my download quota increased by staying an extra night at a motel.

Thanks for posting the pictures and your observations about the earthquake damage and aftermath. Having your personal observation is worth 50 news reports any day.

Wow, great photos, and what a sad thing. I have friends in Christchurch and they pretty much have PTSD now after living through the big quakes. We were there almost exactly 2 years before.

You suggested Akaroa to me when I went to Christchurch two years ago, but I went whale watching in Kaikoura instead on thtat trip. I really enjoyed Akaroa and would go back.

The people I met while walking in the hills said that everyone from Christchurch thinks "It's an earthquake!" at the sound of planes, trains and minor collisions of any kind.
