Got up early for a fantastic sun rise at Kaikoura.

After finding some breakfast( its a very quiet town). Headed down to Christchurch. Drive was notable for the seals and sea birds at the coast and the stark change from mountains and valleys to the flat Canterbury plains.

Even Tunnels

More Flat

Dropped the car off and got a taxi to the b&b we were staying at. Got the Taxi driver view of the Terrible Earthquake of 2010. He pointed out a building being constructed as flats. That used to be a dance hall I courted in 40 years ago! Developers could wait to get their hand on it. That said there as a lot of rebuilding going on but in the centre every where you looked their was damage.

Anyway for reasons left undocumented nothing more to blog today!
