Hi ~ just wanted to let you all know that we have been shaken about 3 times now - have just felt another HUGE one but we are ok
- well, the building we were in was evacuated just after I wrote the above but we immediately left Christchurch and headed north so are in a campground in a tiny town about an hour north of Christchurch and are perfectly fine!
We are feeling very sorry for all the people of Christchurch and the devastation of the city.

the Vals We're relieved that you are okay. Thank's for letting us know.
Barbara Sooo glad to hear you're ok !! Terrible for the people of Christchurch and surrounding area. Hopefully most will have survived, and the city will be rebuilt.
John & Alice Glad to hear all is ok. Take Care. Have a glass of wine or 2.
Brenda Cofield Thank you so much for the update. You have so many friends and family thinking about you. Take good care of each other. xxxx
Thom & Sue SO glad to hear all is OK. Thom's friend called Thom on Skype minutes after we arrived in our Melbourne hotel asking if we were OK, thinking the Christchurch quake may have caused a tsunami along this coast. We were unaware of the quake until his call. We immediately thought of you, of course, and we are relieved you are safe. Take care and stay safe! Love, Sue and Thom

Alison We've been thinking about you ever since we heard the news of the earthquake, and are so pleased to hear that you're ok, although sad about the situation in Christchurch. Glad you've found a safe campground and I hope the rest of your trip is calm.
Janice Lake Great to hear you're ok. It's hard to watch the devastation on the news. I'm waiting to hear from friends who live there. Take care.
Barb Hi Nor! I am so glad that you sent this entry as I had just watched the news and was hoping that you were safe!! It is great to read your blog. Thank you!
Belinda Oh my god, I've just heard woken up and heard this on the radio. I didn't realise that you were in Christchurch. I'm so glad you're ok!!! Lots of love xxx
Adam & Kat Great to hear that you guys went to the early mass and got out safe. Let me know where you are heading next so I can warn all of nz.
Liz and Dave Phew!!! We too had no idea you were in Christchurch. Thank God you are both safe. Totally shocked and saddenned to for the people of Christchurch and the NZ people. Keep safe. All well here. xx
LIz and Philip Jordan So glad you are out of Christchurch city and OK. I have been worried about you since I heard about the earthquake about 3pm, as I noticed from your blog you were in Akaroa just 3 days ago. I was hoping and praying you were out already. What a terrifying experience! So looking foward to seeing you on the 4th, 5th March. Travel safe, see you soon.
Denise Hi cous! Very relieved to hear you got out of Chc in one piece. Like so many I was thinking about you today. Will have a big glass of wine or two waiting for you when you get back to Auckland. Malcolm - I guess if you hung around long enough (why would you?!) you may have experienced the effects of liquefaction first hand!! Ghastly. Many long hours ahead in the insurance industry. Look forward to seeing you safe and well soon. Love D xx
Willy Hey guys,you of course were my first thought yesterday when I saw it on CNN...Yes Malcolm,I do have Thoughts......sometimes......Glad you guys are both ok. Earthquakes seem to follow you around.....Remember Mexico?
Francoise & Tom Thought about you right away and thank you for this quick update. You are both such incredible people and we want you safe!Enjoy the rest of your trip. Sending you lots of love.
Teddy and Alan Hi Elinor and Malcolm, Thank goodness you are safe. Please keep us up to date and look after yourselves. lots of love Teddy and Alan xxx
Frank & Alison Glad to hear from you & you're safe. Good move to leave the area. Alison & I are watching the damage on TV as I write this. Be well and travel safe.
Lynn & Frank Like everyone else, we were very worried. Glad to hear you are OK. We are seeing the unbeliievable devastation on TV and Video. Stay Safe. Can"t imagine what it would be like.
Gwen & Bill We follow your adventures with much interest but were very concerned when we heard about the quake. So glad to hear that you are Ok and have left the area. It must have been very upsetting for you to experience such a disaster. Keep well. Thinking of you.
Sam Nelson Glad to know that you're safe. We were shocked to see the devastation on TV. Continue to stay safe and enjoy your time there.
Gaby & Adrian So glad to hear you guys are OK. Adrian & I felt a slight earthquake shake here in Duncan last week, and seeing what's happened in Christchurch, makes me think we have to get better prepared for something like that happening here. Hopefully the rest of your holiday will be "shake-less", and that you make it home safe & sound.
Dave & Betty Thank goodness you are both fine do you think you are far enough away from the problem? Stay safe.
Kelvin Hey guys, Glad to hear your both fine. Malcolm don't even think about putting your adjusters hat back on, there's lots of work back home for you. Just kidding I'm sure you would rather be R.V.ing. Cheers!
Ann & Don good to hear you are safe - we've just had two lots of snow, so are now about 2-3" under - better than an earthquake tho' - take care and enjoy the rest of your holiday.
Wendy & Ted Please travel safe - enjoy!!!
