Had a quick trip down to the "shaky" city of Christchurch last weekend. We were there for just two nights, and oddly, never felt any earthquake. Within a few hours of our leaving a force 5 rattled everything and everyone, and apparently it felt more like a 7!!!! YUK.
On the drive down we had stopped a the Maruia Springs and met Akira and Takako who run a very lovely hotel/spa there with massage, hot pools (of course) excellent food and great coffee!
Akira has a very nice helicopter there that they both can fly, so we got to have a look inside his hangar, and even made it on to their daily blog.
The trip home included the snow which the photos feature. We had chains, and not much more than 1 hour prior to our getting to the Lewis Pass, we would have needed them!
