I too have travelled extensively in the northern hemisphere and found in 'the shakey isles', geographical features of many lands. It is indeed a beautiful country. Sad to see much damage from the earthquake still evident in Christchurch when we visited three years ago.

Yes it’s taking a while to get Christchurch back into shape. Part bureaucratic incompetence, part the insurance companies being jerks but mostly just the size of the job. I lived just north of the epicentre of that earthquake, and I’ve done some scary things in my time, but that was right up there with the worst of them. Yikes!
