Christchurch Earthquake damage

---

Mon. Jan. 15 2013

Yesterday we did a bus tour into the earthquake damaged inner

city of Christchurch. This area is cordoned off and the only way

to get in is by a special bus tour. I have more pictures but I will post a few.

They have been cleaning up for the last few years. It must have been

unbelievable after it happened. It is very sad and depressing to see a

city turn into a ghost town. But after the 2nd WW, London and Berlin

rose again from far worse. I'm sure CHC will do the same.

Time is running down. Only a few more blogs.

Click on the picture, they will enlarge.

As always
