Hi everyone, there isn't much to blog today as the journey to Christchurch was straight forward and we wanted to get here in plenty of time so with only on break at a coffee stop we travelled to the camp site. Again we have chosen well and they are very understanding about letting us leave later on the 26th so that we don't have to sit about at the airport too long. Today we went on the Transalpine Train to Greymouth. We had a very early start! Yes up at 6am..
We had a free shuttle service to the station, which unfortunately took us through some of the areas of devastation. It really looked very bad and they are having awful trouble here getting insurance sorted which does not help the poor people. The children especially are very traumatized because of all the after shocks which can be up to 7 on the scale.
The tran journey was very good but unfortunately, that word again, David took so much video and so many photos that the camera battery is now charging. As soon as we get to Oz I will blog all the lovely photos.
We are really very sad to leave this lovely country and also the lovely people, nothing is too much and they are very generous. We would certainly recommend a holiday here, there is something for everyone. We only wish that we had decided on a longer visit as there is so much to see and do.
Well other than the photos its goodbye from us in NZ and hello Australia.
