Christchurch

We drove to Christchurch yesterday. I don't really like it here. It feels like a ghost town. The earthquake devastation is interesting, if that's even the word to describe it, but there's a lot of redevelopment going on and it doesn't feel like there are many people around. We were planning on staying this morning, but I think we'll just get a move on and get to Kaikoura! Hopefully the driving from now on won't be as long as the journey we made today as North Island's smaller and the places we want to get to are closer to each other.

We pick up the campervan this morning. Excited to get back to driving a larger, more comfortable car which is automatic!
