Well it all happens when we visit a country! just missed the cyclone and then poor Christchurch has another dreadful earthquake. The news is continual here and obviously far more distressing than if we were in the UK which is a thought in itself. We are both fine and in North Island, thanks for the messages of concern.
We are due to be in Christchurch twice during our holiday so we have to review plans, in any event we have to fly out for there unless we make major changes, time will tell.
I will run out of superlatives in describing the countryside here, photos cannot do justice. Each turn in the road brings another breathtaking view and we have much more to see.
The people are fantastic, always keen to know what your plans are and to help with recommendations. They have a relaxed way of life but as we will see get together to help each other without question or cost to themselves.
We are about to have cheese, wine etc this evening, staying in a self catering cottage for two nights then on to Rotorua, volcanic springs etc.
Lindsay, your blog has not appeared for some reason.

Alan and Lesley Glad to hear you are both OK and having a great time. Spoke to mum and showed her the blog at Lindsay's - don't know why Lindsay's comments did not come through. Will write on blog again before we go away. Alan and Lesley xxx
