WOW WHAT A NIGHT- THE EARTH SHOOK FOR US!

---

Had to tell you all, don't know if it has made the news over there - WE HAD AN EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!
2.10am this morning 5.2 on the scale, only 20klms south of Wellington, we both woke up and were shaking side to side. I said to Ratko "what was that" and he said "maybe an earthquake". There was another one at 4am of 4.8 but neither of us felt that one.
I was only learning about them at the museum the other day!
I have added a few photos on the previous pages if you want to have a look, very slow connection so only put in a few. Will update when we get home and have a faster connection. Bye from Windy Wellington, next time I speak to you it will be from Napier (if we have internet).
