Kaikoura Range, South Island NZ Aboard JetStar to Christchurch, by way over the west coast of the N Island and over the Kaikoura Range, headed to the very cool and Green (enviromentaly) Hotel So in Christchurch, NZ, just a block or so from Catherdral Square. Hadnt been here in 2 plus years, the recent earthquake damage was obvious all over the city, with aftershocks a daily occurance, felt a 4.0 while in the shower! Took the Red bus out to New Brighton (the beach and pier) thinking about a surf session the next day but onshore and cold! ..and the waves sucked! a bit of jet lag so slept early and hung out in the botanical gardens and huge Hagley park the next day---early spring and everything in bloom--took it all in as this would be the last trees and grass and warm weather I would see for a long time....!
