Hi Lou, Thats about the only drawback i can think of with NZ, you had the big one in Christchurch about a week after i left and flew home. My hotel was only a few yards away from the cathedral, in fact we ate breakfast there on a regular basis in the cathedral cafe, sad time. KT

I see that the Cathedral was destroyed and a new one built with cardboard, and that is being damaged by rain.
I climbed to the top of the Cathedral Tower in 2007 and got a Certifcate, then I saw it crash down on TV. Sad
Is the Wizard still performing in the square?? That was one evil earthquake.
Hey Lou that earth quake you had may make the Afghan next door feel at home. Watch out that he is not planting early Poppies.
Cheers
Brian.
here is the wizard outside the Cathedral Christchurch just before the earthquake.
