It has been over two years since I was last here and the
town doesn’t look like it has changed that much. There are only more vacant spots where
buildings have been torn down, but it still has a lot of construction to go
before you notice a change.
On Sunday I wake at 2am and after tossing and turning for a while,
I give up and leave at 4:45am and drive north up the coast. The drive turns out to be very nice and the scenery
very beautiful (much nicer than the drive south to Omarau. I stop at Kaikoura and have a nice breakfast
at 7am and two flat white coffees (yum).
The beach at Kaikoura
On the drive back inland
Beach near Christchurch
Sail car? near Christchurch
On one of the beaches they had a Tsunami warning sign which
was interesting.
On my last day, I flew up to Auckland and got the chance to tour around a bit before my flight out in the evening. Auckland the largest city in NZL also has half the population of the country.
View of Rangitoto volcano in the distance - just one of 53 in the area
One tree hill - without a tree
And it seems that Rob Ford even made the news in NZL
