Hi everyone! After my last night in the south island the bus went to Christchurch. As you may remember Christchurch got hit with a really bad earthquake in February 2011, which they are still recovering from. A guy I barely knew from the bus was on the same flight with me so we decided to travel together into the city to see the damage. It was pouring rain, which made everything look even more sad. But here are a couple pictures of just the distaster that is still left. They are working on first taking down buildings since they are unstable and then rebuilding.
There is a small part that is all fixed up with nice cafes and stores. But it was pouring rain remember so what is that guy doing!?
The stores are all made out of containers (the big shipping ones not tupperware!), pretty cool!
Another very scary picture.
And that wraps up my south island trip!!! Thanks for sticking with me through the slow updates but I hope you enjoyed reading a bit about my adventures way down there. Now I have to finish updating you all on the rest of my time in New Zealand because I only have 2 days left here! I'm actually getting pretty sad thinking about all the goodbyes, I'm going to miss all the different families we have created!
Love and miss you tons,
Michele
