Finally, the time has come for us to be on our way. This stage has been pretty special and we've made some great friends who we'll never forget, but I can't wait to get going now. So long Christchurch and goodbye to all the wonderful people we've met.... Read more >

We've taken a couple of days out from the job/home search in Christchurch to visit a beautiful little seaside town called Kaikoura. There are loads of residential marine mammals in Kaikoura, because the sea surrounding it is so rich in food, and there's ... Read more >
