I'm OK!

Thanks to all those that expressed concern about the
flooding. That area is around Auckland, far north of me, over 2 hours drive.
We have had rain but nothing unusual.

our night in jail in 2016


Our last night in Christchurch was spent in the Jailhouse Accommodations at the locally converted jail. Click here for their website. 


Being a backpackers' hostel, I expected it to be loud but the 'inmates', even though most of them were pretty young, were well-behaved and respectful. That's our room with the bunk beds!

St Michael's, Stanway



There is not a lot to be found about this church except it still holds regular services.
The Anglican church has been operating for 126 years 
and was designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere.
