Hard to believe that we have been home a month already! We got home on Saturday the 26th November, and on the Monday we bought our new car.
We have been into Chch and viewed our broken city, and have been on the Red Zone bus tour, which takes you into the CBD, Cathedral Square and so on. Like anything, it’s very shocking at first, but after a couple of visits you take it for granted. We have a new spectator sport in Chch, gawping through the fence at what’s going on. Here you can see a giant crane dismantling the Grand Chancellor hotel, has to be done slowly piece by piece for the sake of the buildings beside it.
