We have heard a whole lot from family and friends concerned about us and with regards to the earthquake here in New Zealand. Thank you all for your concern but rest assured all we are alive and well. We felt the earthquake from Hamner Springs, a couple of hours from Christchurch, where there was no damage. We are now in Kaikoura which is just north of Christchurch. Phone lines and internet have been in bad shape since the earthquake, so I am sorry about the spotty and brief email contact.
The tricky part will be going home (Fiji-home I mean) since we are scheduled to fly out of Christchurch tomorrow morning. We will be driving from Kaikoura today and are just sort of hoping for the best once we get there. There is widespread damage and the central part of town is closed. That being said, we have a booking at a hostel that we are pretty sure is up and running and the airport is reportedly working, despite the tower having collapsed. Many roads are out and Christchurch is a disaster. Wish us luck!
I will continue with my blogs about our New Zealand travels soon.
