Since returning to christchurch from Queenstown we have been staying in a very comfortable motel over the road from Tims. We've walked through the very beautiful Hagley Park and walked throughout the devastated city centre. It really is a city trying to get back on its feet. The new temporary cathedral made from huge cardboard rolls was interesting to see although its important to note that the cardboard is only one of the materials used in its construction. Having said that its amazing to see some of the internal fittings like the pulpit made entirely from cardboard rolls.
Last night we had our evening meal with some of Shanti's family. Just after arriving we had 2more quakes both measuring about 4. Today we go to Shanti's mums for xmas dinner and tomorrow we head to the Catlins national park right on the southern tip of NZ
