Sunday - rest day
We went to Akaroa today on our day off to get out of Brugge, I mean Christchurch.
Steep hills running into a bay, looks a bit like britain I suppose.
A sort of seaside tourist area south east of Christchurch.
Had the Rissoto, with local mussels, scallops, calamari, prawns ......etc...,mmmmm

Week 2
Week 2 has come and gone.
I have worked out that Christchurch is similar to Brugge in Belgium.
We have been here for 2 1/2 weeks, similar to Colin Farrell (Ray) and Brendan Gleeson (ken) both my work mate Garth and I feel trapped waiting for something to happen.
The central cathederal square, upon which we are staying, has a large cathedral with a bell tower similar to the Bell Fry tower in Brugge. (sorry cant get a photo)
There about 400 of us working with the Earthquake commission and most are staying in hotels around the cathedral.Thats our hotel in the background
Theres not much else to write about, except that its like...well... like Brugge.

NZ - steady steps in the shaky isles
Its my 2nd week here in Christchurch and the work is steadily increasing and Sundays are the only days off so looking forward to tomorrow. A few of us are heading into the mountains tomorrow to some thermal springs. Last sunday was the fur seal display further up the island and a few photos with some of the blokes.
There is not much to report except for the daily earthquakes ranging from about 3 to 4.5. You can only feel the ones over 4. The last reasonable size one was 4.5 this morning about 9.30. There are about 5-8 a day.
This is a picture of our accommodation, its a bit unstable but better then everyone elses place
As we are here to work I dont have many tourism stories or photos to share.
This is the view out the office back window
Some of the team mates:
NZ Fur seal
Well thats it for this blog.
In summary, Kiwis are good people, weather great and its a nice place to be.
